On Screen Celebrity Couple Craig and Debbie Stephens have shown it may take some time to climb the ladder of success but with purest of drive and determination it can be done and this talented couple continue to climb by giving us all that little bit more after creating their very own successful entertainment chat show with music guests titled Moreish TV but we will get to that shortly.
Celebrity couple Craig and Debbie married 25 years together.
Craig met Debbie back in the 90s in Edinburgh Scotland when Craig was writing songs and working on them in REL music studio that also had artists such as Jimmy Somerville, Aneka and Runrig lay down some tracks at the same studio.
The couple met at a local music competition, Debbie took part and Craig loved her voice and asked her if she would love to lay some vocals down and in time Debbie agreed and Craig introduced Jimmy Somerville to Debbie and wished them both best of luck in the music industry.

Craig and Debbie recorded a number of songs together and through the years they both grew in their talent eventually leaving Dance and Hip Hop to build a Grunge band and they did and toured the UK and Wales until through musical differences their band broke up.
Craig and Debbie focused on themselves and decided to stick as a duo concentrating on taking the diverse lyrics they both created in rock music and twisting them into a leftfield dance flavour and sound and this drove the couple to record an album and they then decided they wanted to collaborate with someone whom created some dance hits.
