Soap crossovers are all the rage right now \u2013 and following the groundbreaking climate change event<\/a> earlier this month, EastEnders<\/a>\u2018 Janine Butcher and Coronation Street<\/a>\u2018s Steve McDonald are now set to cross paths in a sketch for Children in Need.<\/p>\n The sketch sees the soap legends meet for a date at Fred Sirieix\u2019s First Dates restaurant \u2013 as Janine\u2019s (Charlie Brooks) quest to find love sees her paired with the seven-times married Steve (Simon Gregson).<\/p> In a first-look clip \u2013 which you can check out in full below \u2013 the pair share a somewhat awkward introduction at the bar, before Janine asks Steve what he does for a living.<\/p>\n \u201cUm, drive a cab\u2026 got me own firm,\u201d is Steve\u2019s response, to which Janine exclaims: \u201cReally? My dad used to own a cab firm. But he was most happy when he ran the pub.\u201d<\/p>\n At this point, Steve interjects: \u201cI used to run a pub!\u201d and Janine says: \u201cThat is such a coincidence,\u201d before ordering a vodka tonic from the bar.<\/p>\n Janine then asks Steve to tell her a little bit more about himself, asking him if he\u2019s been married.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, you could say that,\u201d he responds, before answering seven when asked how many times he\u2019s been hitched.<\/p>\n Janine has rather a strong reaction to this bombshell, appearing to choke on her drink and asking: \u201cSo you\u2019re not afraid of commitment then?\u201d<\/p>\n And with the last line of the clip, Steve retorts: \u201cOr the divorce courts.\u201d<\/p>\n
