Earlier this year, James celebrated 25 years in Emmerdale.

Although the coronavirus pandemic has seemingly taken over 2020, it’s still been a big year for James’s alter ego Sam.

Earlier this year, Sam and Lydia got married. The Dingle wedding was completed as Lydia drank from the wellie.

Looking like a damn action man.

The couple even had their own lockdown episode a couple of weeks ago. During the two-hander, Sam worried about Lydia leaving their home, as she could be high risk as she potentially has Huntington’s disease.
