Joe’s character Finn was often seen sporting thick-rimmed glasses and shirts. Although, he looks a little different five years on away from Emmerdale.

When he left Emmerdale, Joe paid tribute to his colleagues and fans of the soap. Joe said: “The four years I have spent in Emmerdale have been the best of my life and I couldn't have asked for better people to be around.

“Thank you so much to the production team, the crew, the cast and of course my on-screen family. It is something I will always look at with great pride when I think of the show and the character I played.

"And thank you to the viewers for your constant support. It has meant so much.”

Since leaving Emmerdale, the acting star has enjoyed a number of varied roles. He has appeared in Run, Wuthering Heights and Trickster.
