ACTOR Ralf Little will return to our television screens on Monday in the six-part comedy drama Married Single Other.

Former Bolton School pupil Ralf plays the part of womanising Clint whose life is turned upside down when he meets a beautiful, smart woman who turns out to be more than just a one night stand.

The 30-year-old says: “Clint meets Abbey at his usual hunting ground, a bar called Honeyz.

“They end up going home together but nothing happens because Abbey’s feeling ill and ends up sleeping on the sofa.

“In the morning Clint says, ‘I’ve got to leave for a meeting soon, if you fancy hopping into bed quickly.’ That had worked for him in the past, but he’s amazed to find that Abbey has come home with him because she likes him, and not for the sex.

“Abbey doesn’t fall for any of Clint’s bravado and this suddenly makes him realise that he’s pushing 30 and life can’t continue like this.

“It completely throws him and he can’t get her out of his head. This girl has woken him up, but needless to say old habits die hard!”

And Clint’s new resolution is pushed to the limit when sexy Brazilian stripper Fabiana arrives on the scene.

The show centres around three couples, trying to work out how modern relationships work, and has inevitably been compared to 90s Brit-hit, Cold Feet.

With his past roles falling firmly into the “lad” category, Ralf admits he’s glad to be able to act older in Married Single Other.

“I took the part of Clint because it’s a chance for me to play someone a bit grown up,” he says. “I'm nearly 30! I was a kid in The Royle Family and a young lad when we started Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. This feels like the next step.”

However, the actor says he is not completely like his character.

“Clint has no ties, no family, other than his brother Dickie of course, and quite a well-paid job in advertising,” he says. “He spends all his

“I’m also pushing 30 and can manage a chat-up line, so there are some similarities, but he dresses very differently from me, with all his Prada suits.

“I’m less bothered with the way I dress. I don’t spend ages doing my hair and putting on the fake tan.”

• Married Single Other starts on Monday on ITV at 9pm.
