Very sad news. I wasn't an Emmerdale guy, but it was always on in my home growing up and I still regularly saw bits and pieces of it now and again. This guy had to be one of the most iconic faces of the show. It's a shame to see such a fixture of British television go out. R.I.P.

That's really sad. He's been such a massive part of Emmerdale for so long.
