Keeley Hawes: 'I can snog other men'

Keeley Hawes has said that her husband Matthew Macfadyen does not get jealous if she kisses other men on screen.

The Ashes To Ashes actress told Take It Easy that as they are both actors, they understand that they may have to pucker up with someone else from time to time.

She added that the situation does have its perks, saying: "Matthew got the very beautiful Keira Knightley when he filmed Pride And Prejudice, I get the lovely Marc Warren in Mutual Friends!

"It does make for some interesting teatime conversations... 'What did you do today, dear?', 'Oh nothing much, just made love to my co-star in a toilet!'"

The BBC confirmed in March that Ashes To Ashes will return for a second series in 2009.
