One of his memorable storylines was when Rebecca White arranged a team building day for them at Tree Top Adventure World. However, Hugh’s plans to check out Rebecca’s management skills went wrong when his car ended up on fire, which lead him to terminate his business with Home Farm.

Simon has also starred in The Fall Of The Krays, The Unseen, Doctors, and Amazon Prime’s Hanna, Liverpoolecho reports.

Fiona regularly shares photos and videos of herself and Simon - who were married in 2019 - on social media. They recently took a trip away together to celebrate Fiona's 43rd birthday in March.

As Priya Sharma is just 35, many fans were shocked as they thought Fiona was much younger. Posting in an Emmerdale fan group on Facebook at the time, one woman said: "You look far younger! Enjoy your special day."

While another added: "Wow, 43? I would have put her in her late 20s. Whatever you're doing keep doing it, it's working wonders."

Another soap fan said: "Happy birthday you don't look 43 omg lovely lady have a great day x" and a fourth added: "Happy Birthday to Fiona. I read about her a while ago, they said she was 42, a typing error I thought...surely they meant 32?!"
