Former Emmerdale star Fiona Wade has paid a sweet tribute to her soap star husband on his birthday.
The actress, known for her role as Priya Sharma in the ITV soap, is married to Simon Cotton, who has also starred in the show.
Simon portrayed the role of Hugh Bryant back in 2017. He was a Home Farm client and arrived at Tree Top Adventure World to see Rebecca White’s (Emily Head) management skills.
Hugh’s plan went drastically wrong, however, when he discovered his car on fire. He ended his business with Home Farm and chose to leave the village shortly after.
Simon and Fiona have been married since 2019. In a recent Instagram post, the actress shared a lovely picture of the two of them to celebrate Simon’s birthday.
‘Happy Birthday to this beautiful man of mine, who makes me smile like this every day!’, she wrote alongside.
‘So sad to not be with you today my love but not long to go. You deserve all the happiness & blessings that life can bring. Thank you for being the best husband and the bestest friend. My Rock. I love you for eternity.’
Fiona often posts updates on her social media about her life with Simon and as an actress.

She recently shared a variety of pictures from her farewell party from Emmerdale, after playing Priya for 10 years.
Priya departed the Dales for a new life in London after being offered an exciting job. It came after a distressing event at Take A Vow, when a small fire reminded Priya of the devastating incident in a maze fire that had left her permanently scarred. This shattering event made Priya realise that she had to move on with her life, so when the job offer came up, she was ready to embrace it.
