"I’ve been linked to Zack [Morris] in the past too but they’re both like brothers to me."

To be honest we're not surprised she's been linked to Zach because after all, they did date in Walford shortly before she moved on with his onscreen brother Keanu Taylor.

Speaking of Danny Walters - who plays Keanu - Tilly admitted she wasn't prepared to kiss him onscreen because she didn't know their "characters would end up together".
