Charley Webb discusses 'rulebreaker' son after fans question note left by Emmerdale star husband

Charley Webb has shared how her youngest son isn't one to play by the rules. The former Emmerdale star took to Instagram to share the sweet way husband Matthew Wolfenden had prepped them for their morning.

There were bowls, cups and a milk frother all with a scrap bit of paper on top with a note on what they needed to do. One note said: "For Bowie, just add milk. Daddy x," while the one on the cup read: "Buster, just add hot water. Dad x."

A message from Matthew, who stars in the ITV soap as David Matcalffe, read 'Love you all' with a bunch of kisses. But according to Charley, fans were quick to point out a change one of the messages as the dad-of-three referred to himself in the note to his two-year-old son, Ace, just as 'Matthew'.

Taking to her Instagram Story later, the Debbie Dingle actress filmed a video in her car and said to her 562,000 followers: "I've had so many messages saying why does Matthew's note say to Ace 'Love Matthew' and not 'Daddy'...

"That is because Ace decided that he wasn't going to call him daddy anymore. He calls him Matthew. Not all the time... but probably 95% of the time and because he knows that Matty doesn't like it, he does it even more. It's quite funny."

She added: "But yeah, Ace is not one to follow a rule. In fact, none of my kids are." Prior to filming her video, she posted an adorable selfie she had taken alongside Ace and wrote: "Not one to conform this one."

Charley, from Bury, shares 12-year-old Buster, Bowie, six, and Ace with fellow actor Matthew. The pair met on the set of Emmerdale in 2007 and they have previously shared how they didn't even tell guests they were getting married as they thought that they were attending Charley's 30th birthday party only to be surprised by the nuptials.

Back in October Charley stunned fans and co-stars with a throwback snap from her secret wedding. Sharing a gorgeous image of the pair, Charley told her followers: "We've been looking at our wedding pictures today.

"I still love that no one knew and they all just thought it was my 30th birthday party. It was the best ever." She then added: "And I really want to wear this dress again." Charley opted for a Suzanne Neville dress which featured a lace bodice and a plain skirt with a flowing veil while Matthew looked dapper in an all-black ensemble of jeans, shirt and suit jacket.
