Collins's complex love life includes dating cameraman Mark Waters, whom she met while filming the BBC travel rep drama Sunburn, for two years. Collins and her Welsh boyfriend Parry Cockwell called off their wedding in February 2005, saying things were moving too fast, before splitting in October 2005.
Her friends include singer Paul Young and his wife Stacey, and chef Aldo Zilli. She owns a pet Samoyed called Jingle.
