Christmas in the Highlands was filmed just before the Covid pandemic, with the couple appearing on location at Princes Street and the Edinburgh Christmas Market.
Speaking about their movie debut, Craig said: "This is a traditional Christmas movie about love which was great fun to be involved in. To hang out with some greats including Geraldine was awesome, we got on great, and the legend that is Nicholas Farrell was just wonderful to work with. We got on well with the star actors and shared dinner with them.”
Debbie added: “Brooke was lovely as was Dan. We played our alter egos Z and Saffire as VIP guests at the Royal Wedding grand ball which was great fun. We are so excited it’s on Amazon Prime."
The husband and wife duo have made many TV appearances in recent years as chat show guests and presenters, and are due to begin filming next year on a new TV sitcom called ‘All Together Tavern’, working alongside a former Grange Hill star and a host of former footballers.
