Duncan added: "We started hanging out a little bit after the show. Everyone's sort of friends in the cast, and obviously me and you living in Sydney we probably hung out a little bit more.
He continued: "All of a sudden, we went out on a couple of nights, and some of the warm fuzzy feelings happened in my stomach, and I thought, 'What's this? How we going here?'
"Then... one thing led to another."

After keeping their relationship private for some time, Evelyn and Duncan are now looking forward to sharing some of their dates, adventures, and life updates publicly.
"We can do all those fun things and not have to sneak around and share all those great moments together," Duncan said.

Evelyn confirmed that the new couple have shared their news with their co-stars, saying: "We have been welcomed as a couple in the most positive way," while Duncan added that Rupert had been "very supportive".
