Now, Kate has been quizzed on what she thinks of her famous ex starring as in Scoop. Appearing on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio on Monday, April 8, she was asked if she's had a chance to watch the Netflix film yet. “No.
But I bumped into Gillian Anderson at an event not very long ago, and I was asking her about it,” she responded. Reminiscing on her romance with the star, she added: “And Rufus Sewell is so terrific, you know, I used to go out with Rufus Sewell years ago. Back in the day, a long time ago, I think I must have been 21 or something.
