Matthew Wolfenden and Charley Webb look worlds away from Emmerdale on the night they met

Matthew Wolfenden has shared a throwback from when he first "got together" with wife Charley Webb, as the couple marked their fourth wedding anniversary this week.

The real-life Emmerdale couple, who met on the set of the soap , have been in a relationship for more than a decade and are parents to three children; Buster, 11, Bowie, six, and Ace, two.

They got married in February 2018, with their nuptials said to have come as a surprise to their wedding guests, who had been told that they were attending a birthday party.

The actors celebrated the anniversary yesterday, both sharing posts about their relationship on Instagram.

Wolfenden, 41, - who plays David Metcalfe on the ITV soap - took the opportunity to share a photo of the couple that had been taken when they first "got together."

He wrote: "This photo was taken 15 years ago. We had just 'got together' ... now we've been married 4 years and have 3 amazing, beautiful (always annoying) boys running around the house and driving us mad!"

The actor added in the caption: "I knew as we had this photo taken that we'd be together forever. I'd found my soulmate. Love you pal. Happy anniversary."
