Emmerdale's Zoe Henry spills the beans on life with co-star husband Jeff Hordley as couple welcome new arrival

Emmerdale star Zoe Henry has spilled the beans on life with co-star husband Jeff Hordley.

The soap star couple first met in college before tying the knot in 2003. They attended the same drama school together and met there back in 1994.

Jeff and Zoe have two children; daughter Violet who was born in 2005, and son Stan who was born in 2008. As reported by our colleagues at The Mirror, Zoe appeared on Lorraine earlier this week and discussed her home life.

Zoe, who plays Rhona in Emmerdale, opened up about working on the same set as Jeff, as she admitted: "In the nicest possible way, I think we both enjoy that part of it [not working together on set]. When our kids were young, it meant we could each be at home with the children in rotation, which was so important as the most important thing was our family and our kids.

"It’s quite nice. We’ve got the shared environment of working with people on set and the different teams, but we can come home and talk about it - we’ve not had the same day. I like it. I don’t think they’d be friends."

The family will be getting a new dog this weekend after their pet passed away in February. Speaking about the new addition, she shared: "We lost our dear old doggy Rita back in February, which was truly awful. It feels not the right time but it’s never going to be the right time. So Geraldine is arriving in the house on Friday. Not sure what’s going to happen but it’s going to be fun."
