Emmerdale's Sam Dingle, played by James Hooton, has been a part of our lives since 1995 and he's had his fair share of drama, from being shot, trampled by a cow and even kidnapped. But off screen the actor leads a very different life.
Miracle baby James got engaged to dance company owner Nancy Lucas on Valentine's Day 2010 and the two have been loved-up ever since but are yet to tie the knot. The couple share daughters Lilly, 16, and Ava-Rose, six but had a tough time trying to have a second child. Life seems pretty perfect for the family, with James often sharing snaps of them enjoying days out, celebrating special occasions, and going on country walks. In June, he posted a lovely photo of him and his fiancee all dressed up for the British Soap Awards.
A few years back, James shared a photo of himself climbing the wall of his house in just shorts, leaving fans stunned by his good looks. One fan commented: "Never knew you were so ripped!." Former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas was equally as shocked and wrote: "Beast!!!!", under the photo. His co-stars are certainly impressed with his workouts, with Billy Fletcher actor Jay Kontzle commenting: "That fingertip strength makes my fingers ache - great work Hoots!"
Stunt double Fans of Emmerdale are used to hearing James speak with a thick Yorkshire accent, so they were surprised to learn that it's not his real accent. The actor is actually from Carlton, Nottinghamshire and this was revealed in behind-the-scenes clips shared by the soap's Instagram page.
