Emmerdale legend Jeff Hordley reveals hilarious observation from his nan on his 21 years as Cain Dingle

Emmerdale legend Jeff Hordley has revealed an hilarious observation from his nan reflecting on his 21 years playing Cain Dingle.

Jeff, 50, has been reflecting on playing the bad boy in the ITV soap for over two decades. He appeared on Loose Women to discuss what he enjoys about the role.

Although, it appears like the sands of time haven’t been kind to the actor, according to his grandmother that is.

Speaking on the ITV panel show, he said: “I rang my nan to tell her I was appearing on Loose Women and whilst I rang her she said ‘Jeffrey, you’ve just rang me at 7.20pm and Emmerdale is on can I call you back?’.

“When she rang back she said ‘oh, you do look old’.”

This led to fits of laughter from the panelists. Elsewhere, Jeff was pushed on whether there’s any way he’d like to be a little more like Cain.

He said: “A quality I’d like to have more like him? Do you know what I would like? Sometimes in England we are all too polite and after the moment you’re thinking ‘I wish I’d said that’ that’s the bit of Cain I’d like in my life because he just says what he sees and holds no prisoners.”

We’ll bring you all the fallout from that and you can keep up with the latest Emmerdale news by visiting our homepage dedicated to the soap.
