Former Emmerdale star Fiona Wade has celebrated her anniversary with husband and co-star Simon Cotton.
Fiona, who played the role of Priya Kotecha in the ITV soap from 2011-2023, has been married to London born writer and actor Simon since 2019.
After she became engaged, Fiona gave more details on the proposal during an interview on Lorraine:
‘It was a sequence of clues, involving my best friends and my mother. And he took me to this beautiful hotel in London, then he took me to my home where my dad passed away. It was candles and flowers and then the next day we went to Paris.’
Five years on from the wedding, Fiona has posted a wonderful tribute on her Instagram, sharing the love for Simon on their anniversary.

In a series of snaps from their life together so far, Fiona and Simon can be seen making so many wonderful memories.
The star wrote in the caption: ‘Happy 5 years baby!! ❤️???????? The happiest 5 years of my life have been because of you. I love you endlessly & I can’t wait for eternity with you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️’.
In 2017, Simon appeared in Emmerdale playing Home Farm client Hugh Bryant. Hugh was there as Rebecca White (Emily Head) had arranged a team building day for them at Tree Top Adventure World.
However, Hugh’s plans to check out Rebecca’s management skills went wrong when his car ended up on fire, which lead him to terminate his business with Home Farm.
As well as Emmerdale, Simon has appeared in The Fall Of The Krays, The Unseen, Doctors, and Amazon Prime’s Hanna.

Priya departed the Dales for a new life in London after being offered an exciting job last year.
It came after a distressing event at Take A Vow, when a small fire reminded Priya of the devastating incident in a maze fire that had left her permanently scarred.
This shattering event made Priya realise that she had to move on with her life, so when the job offer came up, she was ready to embrace it.
