EMMERDALE'S Tony Audenshaw has previously opened up about his personal heartache over the "unfair" death of wife.
The actor, who appeared on Saturday night's episode of Celebrity Catchphrase, sadly lost his wife Ruth to pancreatic cancer in 2017.

FORMER EastEnders star Craig Fairbrass was only in the soap for a few years, but his character Dan Sullivan certainly managed to make an impression.
Fans of the beloved BBC soap may remember Craig being part of the infamous 'Who Shot Phil Mitchell?' plot way back in 2001.

During an interview with the Daily Express, Craig elaborated on his career so far and revealed: "My dad was a docker, my mum was a machinist, and they were very supportive.
"To be honest it’s been a long, brutal journey, one step forward, two steps backwards but you have to keep thinking positive."
