There's no doubt about it, acting can mean long hours and a lot of time away from your family - and Emmerdale's Fiona Wade certainly knows that all too well.The 44 year old - who once played the glamorous Priya Sharma on the hit soap - is married to fellow actor Simon Cotton and revealed to OK!

that they have no 'normality'. "“I think I always wanted to be with someone who was in the same field as me. It was very important to me that I had support from someone and that I equally could support them.

I know I rave about him a lot but it’s all true, he’s such a special person," Fiona said. “Sometimes I do think, ‘Oh goodness, we’re both actors.’ It’s not like one of us has a normal job, there’s no normality, but actually we’re actors for a reason, we both want that kind of life, so it’s normality for us.

We love our jobs and we love each other, so therefore I just want him to be happy, and he wants me to be happy. I believe in him, and I believe in us.” Simon, who appeared alongside his wife in Emmerdale in August 2017 as Home Farm Estate client Hugh Bryant, and Fiona married in a stunning Bahá’í Faith ceremony at the Georgian-style Euridge Manor and Orangery in the Cotswolds in late 2019, and have settled into their albeit very busy married life perfectly.
