‘IT'S LIKE WE'VE HAD THE LONGEST HONEYMOON EVER!'

EMMERDALE ACTOR LIAM FOX AND WIFE JOANNA HUDSON-FOX SHOW OK! THEIR NEW HOME AS THEY TALK ABOUT SPENDING THEIR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE IN LOCKDOWN

- KIRSTY HATCHER

When Liam Fox and Joanna Hudson-Fox tied the knot in February 2020, they never imagined they’d spend most of their first year of marriage in lockdown.

But just over a year after their big day, which was exclusively covered by OK!, it’s clear the couple have made the most of it.

Emmerdale star Liam, 50, and actress Joanna, 46, have bought their first home together and made another addition to their furry family – Barry the rescue shih-tzu, who joins their Staffordshire bull terrier Hope and Lhasa apso-Jack Russell cross Teddy.

And as they exclusively open up their four-bed house in Cheshire in these self-shot images – which Joanna even slipped her wedding dress back on for – Liam says they are also looking into fostering. The actor, Dan Spencer in the ITV soap, is already father to Jemma, 30, and Ben 21, from his previous marriage to actress Nicole Barber-Lane.

Sadly, there have also been some tough times, as both have had Covid-19 and Liam lost his dad to pneumonia in February. Here, they reflect on their first year as man and wife.

Hi, both! What’s been highlight of your first year of marriage?

Joanna: I’ve got to say Barry! He’s our baby. Liam: His full name is Barry Huw Pumpkin The Third! He’s another rescue dog from Many Tears Animal Rescue in Wales.

Joanna: We’re passionate that people should rescue animals. We’ve just got him neutered, which is the ethical thing to do with so many unwanted dogs in rescue and dog theft on the increase.
