Emmerdale Actor Dies Aged 63

Actor Clive Hornby, who played Jack Sugden in ITV1 soap Emmerdale, has died at the age of 63.

It was announced in January that Hornby would be taking a break from the soap because of ill health.

He originally signed a three month contract with the soap - but he ended up staying in the Dales for 28 years, making him the soap's longest-serving cast member.

Emmerdale series producer Anita Turner said she was "deeply saddened" by "a devastating loss".

She added, "He was a hugely popular and well-respected member of cast and a terrific actor."
