Actors Jeff Hordley and Zoe Henry, who play Cain Dingle and Rhona Goskirk in ITV's Emmerdale, have given a rare glimpse into their lives away from the camera.

The duo have been a real-life couple for over three decades, having first met back in drama school in the early 1990s.

They then tied the knot in 2003, which was around the same time they both made their debuts in the long-running soap.

Now, they've shared that they get up to in their downtime away from the ITV drama of the Dales on their Instagram account.

Their joint project was highlighted during Wednesday's This Morning (August 12), as Sharon Marshall gave her soap highlight of the week to Andi Peters and Rochelle Humes.

She explained it's going to actors Jeff Hordley and Zoe, as a clip from their Instagram account played to ITV viewers.

As Andi asked what was happening, Sharon explained: "They've opened up their real-life allotments at home, and it's Jeff bringing out sugarpeas and his beetroots. It's lovely! They got about half a million followers overnight.

"It's lovely, calming. They take you around the allotment, and they tell you what they're harvesting this week.

Rochelle complimented their venture together, calling it a 'wholesome' thing to do before admitting it's the type of page she wants to see on her own account.

On their account, fans can see them harvesting vegetables from their allotment, along with updates on how some of the things are growing.

In one video, they were joined by co-star Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle, as they took him on a tour of their thriving patch.

It seems as though soap fans are enjoying the wholesome content, as many have commented on the posts, praising the acting couple for showing their hobby off.

Someone else wrote: "What a gorgeous allotment.. lovely to see you all." Another wrote: "Loving these videos. Thank you."
