ITV Emmerdale Rhona Ghoskirk star shares insight into home life with co-star husband

Emmerdale's Zoe Henry has provided fans with an insight into her life away the Yorkshire village.

The soap star is renowned to fans for her portrayal of Rhona Goskirk in the long-running soap. She is currently embroiled in one of the ITV show's main storylines as her on-screen fiance, Marlon Dingle, suffered a stroke this week.

Zoe appeared on today's edition of Lorraine to talk about her latest storyline. However, the Scottish broadcaster also asked the 48-year-old about her life away from the screen.

Zoe is happily married to co-star Jeff Hordley, who is best known for his iconic portrayal of Cain Dingle. The two first met in drama school in 1994 and have been in a relationship ever since.

The soap star couple enjoy a happy life with their two children named Violet and Stan - and share updates of the family tending to their allotment on Instagram.

However, the husband and wife rarely share the screen despite their two characters living in the same village - and Zoe said that helps their relationship.

She joked: "Which is great. We have a separate existence at work and we like that.

"We often do line learning together, but actually this time where Jeff has been amazing is just taking the weight of what's going on at home. We've got two kids, two dogs, an allotment so he's been managing that.

"He's about to get busy as I quieten down so we'll swap the baton then."

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
