Emmerdale’s Zoe Henry has spoken of how she fell in love with screen co-star Jeff Hordley.
Jeff and Zoe got married at a low-key ceremony in 2003 after Hordley's romantic proposal. The couple's engagement story is a sweet one as Jeff proposed to Zoe on the same day she won an award. Zoe had won an award for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Manchester Evening News ' Theatre Awards.
Jeff Hordley, 52, joined Emmerdale as Cain Dingle in 2000 while Zoe Henry first joined a year later as she took on the role of Rhona Goskirk. She wasn't a regular character at first, but her role became more permanent eight years later when she reprised her character.

“With the connection on set, we were together for 10 years before that as well. We got together in 1994.”
