“I've been acting since I was a kid and it started out as a hobby. I've been lucky enough to make that my professional career and I've earned a living out of it.”
“The amazing thing with a soap is every day you're challenged, the amount of storylines we go through, the amount of emotions you get to play is really challenging.”
“I find it really easy to be aggressive, I find it easy to cry.”
“I know very little about farming!”
“I left it entirely in the hands of the 'Emmerdale' team and had no input into how Andy would leave. I put my full trust in them to come up with a way for him to leave that was fitting for the character.”
“I want five children! I do want a huge family, but ultimately, whatever will be, will be.”
“I was eight years old and I was playing rugby for my local club.”
“I suddenly received a call from my agent offering me the chance to do 'Strictly' and I had to make the decision within an hour or two. I was doing a different job towards the end of the year so I had to change my plans, but it was a no-brainer.”
“Night shoots are great. They always feel quite mischievous and naughty because you're out working while everyone else is in bed.”
“My experience of dancing is exclusively at weddings or parties with alcohol involved and in the dark.”
“Emmerdale' is and always will be in my DNA.”
“As an actor I can bring the story, the narrative in each performance. If I can't do that, then... might as well give up as an actor, hadn't I?”
“I thought I had a pretty good American accent but I had a few sessions with a voice coach over there and she was picking up on a few things. Possibly because I've got such a strong Northern accent, I emphasise the wrong part of words so the idea is to work on my American accent.”
“I felt that as an actor I continued to excel and felt really comfortable and confident in myself that I wanted to at least give it a go and picture myself doing other things. It was testament to 'Emmerdale' that they gave me the confidence and creativity to pursue other challenges.”
“I am pretty quiet, and people say I'm shy.”
“I do remember a time and I can quite easily imagine a time without - looking to a future without 'Emmerdale.'”
“If someone stops me in the street, they might not want to say something to my face - maybe something about 'Emmerdale' or something personal towards me, good or bad. But on Twitter they are hiding behind their keyboard.”
“Obviously I went through my adolescence on national TV, but it's great looking back.”
“I'll spend about an hour and a half working out: mobility, activate whatever muscles, a full-body session every time, some full-body exercises and some upper-body exercises.”
“I won an award when I was 15 and my mum and dad were very proud and so was I but for me, individual things like that aren't as significant as I have been part of so much and there were weeks and months of hard work building up to those pinnacle moments and they can be full of moments of pride.”
