Liam and Nicole have two children together but divorced in 2015 after 16 years of marriage.

Following their split, Liam went on to find love with his old friend Joanna Hudson, who he actually dated previously while he was at university in Salford.

Jo is a 45-year-old actress who has a string of TV appearances, as well on stage and film credits.

She has been on shows such as Crimewatch, The Ward, Saturday Night Takeaway, Coronation Street and The Apprentice.

Jo was also a co-star of Liam back in 2018 when she played hospital consultant Miss King in Emmerdale.

Liam proposed to Jo back in April 2019, announcing the news on Twitter, while the pair married in February this year.

The wedding was attended by Liam’s co-stars Lisa Riley (Mandy Dingle), Chris Bisson (Jai Sharma), Fiona Wade (Priya Sharma) and Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard), as well as Denise Van Outen.
