Emmerdale's Dan Spencer star enjoys date day with famous wife

Emmerdale star Liam Fox has been a favourite with soap fans since he moved into the village back in 2011.

Recent episodes have seen his character Dan Spencer reeling after finding out his teenage daughter Amelia is pregnant. The doting father has had a string of bad luck during his time in the Dales, including finding out his own brother is actually Amelia's biological father.

Thankfully, the actor who plays him has a much happier life away from the cameras. Liam is loved up with his wife, Joanna Hudson.

Joanna also once starred in Emmerdale. She played Ross Barton's doctor for two episodes in 2018. She has also starred in The Bromley Boys and a number of short films.

Liam and Joanna married in February 2020 at Pickerton Castle in Cheshire surrounded by their famous pals - including Denise Van Outen and a number of the Emmerdale cast members. It appears that married life suits the pair as they often look smitten with each in pictures on social media.

Liam and Joanna met at Salford university 27 years ago and Dan proposed just ten months before they were married. On Sunday, the pair enjoyed a Sunday lunch together in Henley on Thames.

Posing for a selfie with a bottle of red wine, the two were clearly enjoying the sunshine. Captioning the snap on Instagram, Liam said: "Sunday lunch in Henley on Thames… tres Bon".

Liam's fellow Emmerdale star Fiona Wade, who plays Priya Sharma, quickly wrote: "Love you guys!". Fans also wished the couple well, as Charlotte said: "You two are so cute", and alienworld said: "Looking smooth mate".
