Sally Lindsay has been a regular on screens for years, but away from the TV sets, she is loved-up with her husband
Sally Lindsay is back on screens for Channel 5’s Number One Fan – but what do we know about her husband?
The actress shot to fame playing Shelley Unwin on ITV’s Coronation Street – making her debut in 2001. And it’s fair to say she was involved in several big storylines during her stint on the soap.
After leaving in 2006, Sally has remained booked and busy. She has appeared in the likes of Scott and Bailey, Still Open All Hours and The Madame Blanc Mysteries. Sally is also starring in the new Channel 5 drama Number One Fan, alongside fellow soap star Jill Halfpenny.
Away from the TV sets, Sally is loved-up with her husband Steve White, who is the former drummer of The Style Council and Paul Weller Band.
The pair met for the first time back in 2004 at a gig in Manchester where Steve was playing. She recalled to The Times: “When I met Steve, I was done with relationships. Half the blokes I met just wanted to be with a bird off the telly, and the other half were terrified of me.”
She went on to share that the first time she saw Steve, he was playing the drums on stage, “all passion and energy”, with Sally describing him as a “real gentleman, with this gorgeous beaming smile”.
The pair quickly started dating and ended up getting married in 2013 in a star-studded wedding in 2013, attended by famous pals like Gok Wan, Alan Carr, Suranne Jones, and Denise Welch. Sally and Steve are also proud parents to twin boys, Louie and Victor, born in 2010.
In a candid chat with Prima magazine, Sally previously shared insights into her marriage: “Steve and I have been together 20 years and married for 10. Working away a lot is what keeps the spark in our marriage – I genuinely believe that. We always have loads to talk about.”
She continued to praise her husband’s role in her professional life: “Steve is the head of music on my shows. He’ll ask me what I want, and I’ll come up with the most obscure, ridiculous references, but he’ll know what I mean because he’s my husband.”
Sally didn’t hold back in expressing her admiration for Steve, saying, “He has a vast musical knowledge. He’s a brilliant man; he’s lovely, and he’s sexy, and he’s funny – and a rock star, which helps! He’s also the best dad.”
Sally also revealed in a past interview that she didn’t want children until she met Steve. She told The Mirror in November 2019 that she had been so busy with work before they met that she’d never considered it.
The actor said, “I thought it was made up, you know, that urge that you desperately want to procreate. I couldn’t believe it when it happened to me.
“I’ve got loads of extremely successful single women mates with massively full lives, and I thought that would have been me. It’s because of Steve that we have Victor and Louie. They’re brilliant, hilarious and cheeky, and they’ve changed my life. I would die for those boys.”
Number One Fan airs on Channel 5 at 9pm
