Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas and his partner Kym Marsh stepped into the limelight on Saturday at the British Soap Awards. The couple, who recently lost their unborn son, said they were enjoying spending time together now that Jamie had finished his role in Hollyoaks and Kym was on leave from Coronation Street. Jamie said of his forthcoming exit from Hollyoaks: "It was dangerous. There's a fire in The Loft and I was tied to a chair. If anything went wrong I was in trouble. "But that's what you live for as an actor, to play them kind of scenes." CLICK below to watch the interview with Jamie Lomas and Kym Marsh
