Fan favourite Sam is played by James Hooton, who is originally from Carlton, Nottinghamshire
Emmerdale's Sam Dingle has been on our screens since 1995 and is a firm favourite with fans of the ITV soap. Sam is played by James Hooton, who is originally from Carlton, Nottinghamshire.
We take a look at James' life away from the soap and what he gets up to when the cameras stop rolling, from his hobbies to his real accent. The soap actor got engaged to dance company owner Nancy on Valentine's Day 2010 and the two have been loved-up ever since, but are yet to walk down the aisle. However, they share two daughters - Lilly, 16, and Ava-Rose, six.
In June, he shared a gorgeous picture of himself and his fiancée dressed to the nines as they attended the British Soap Awards. A few years ago, James posted a shot of himself scaling the wall of his house, wearing only a pair of shorts, as stunned fans flocked to tell him how good he looked.
