During the special – which will be released on Sky and NOW on 1 January – Watson reflected on her past romantic feelings for Felton.

“The assignment that had been given was to draw what you thought god looked like and Tom had drawn a girl with a backward cap on a skateboard. And I just don’t know how to say it – I just fell in love with him.”

“I think I was in the hair and make-up chair and someone said something along the lines of, ‘Yeah, she had a crush on you, ’” he said.
