“Ash was part of my groom’s party – we came into Emmerdale at the same time”, Moore told the magazine.

“I’m disabled and playing a disabled character, he’s trans and playing a trans character, so we bonded early on because of the commonalities we have.”

Moore has cerebral palsy, as does his character Ryan. Looking to the future, Moore told OK!: “We want to start a family in 2026 or 2027 but we need a house first. We need the room. I’ve got too many vinyl records to fit a baby in our flat!”
