Coronation Street's Jane Danson wishes famous husband a happy birthday

Coronation Street's Leanne Battersby actress Jane Danson has paid a heartfelt tribute to her husband on his 54th birthday.

Some fans may be surprised to learn Jane is married to a soap star fans will all recognise. The 43-year-old is married to actor Robert Beck, who has appeared in a number of TV drama series.

Most recently, Robert played Fergus Collins in Hollyoaks, before his character 's reign of terror came to a grisly end last year. Fergus was struck over the back of the head with a Champagne bottle by Trish (Loose Women's Denise Welch).

Robert also starred in Coronation Street from 2008 to 2009 as Jimmy Dockerson, a mechanic and henchman of Tony Gordon, sabotaging the clients of Kevin Webster. The actor has also appeared in Brookside, Emmerdale, Doctors and Waterloo Road.

The couple got hitched in 2005 after meeting at the first Soaps Awards in 1999. They have two children together - Harry, 20, and 13-year-old Sam.

Sharing a heart-warming tribute to her hubby on Monday, Jane said: "Happy 54th birthday @robertbeck529 then, now and always [heart emojis]."

Fellow Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, said: "Happy Birthday xxxx", while Jane's on-screen stepson Jude Riordan said: "Happy Birthday to Rob!".

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
