As some of you may remember, Ian portrayed Dave Glover between 1994 and 1997. Fans may also know Ian, 57, from his roles in Blue Murder and Doctors.
It’s reported that Ian and Beth met 20 years ago. They both married other individuals after that, however they have since split. They reconnected in 2021. In 2022, they celebrated their one year of marriage.
Speaking about her new position, Beth recently told The Mirror that Ian was “really supportive” of her decision to join Emmerdale. “There’s that thing about being an actor where you’re always taken away from home,” she said. Yet he fully understands it.”
She went on, “It’s great to be able to share what I’ve been up to, knowing he understands. He knows a lot of the crew and cast.” That’s crucial when you’re away, because he’s always curious about how each day of production is going.”
