Oliver Farnworth made his Emmerdale debut as John Sugden earlier this week – and he’s also shared an update on the health of girlfriend Sam Womack.
Sam, 51, revealed two years ago she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
She subsequently underwent surgery before announcing in December 2022 she had been given the all clear.

She told OK! magazine at the time: “I just feel really thankful and really grateful that I caught it when I did.
“I’m very thankful for my life. I know that sounds crazy, but it’s almost like I can see the beauty in everything now – like everything feels special.
“And I keep bursting into tears because I’m happy.”
She and Oliver, 42, later moved to Spain to start a new life in the mountains of Valencia.
And now he has opened up about how his ex-EastEnders star partner is doing.
