A part-time actor, who has appeared on Emmerdale numerous times, runs a popular takeaway in Greater Manchester when he isn't filming scenes for the show.
Hussein Dehaini works for the family business Tyros, in Stockport, alongside his father Adnan Dehaini - who had previously played for the Lebanese national football team.
The takeaway - which has been praised recently for serving "marvellous" food - is named after the family's home city of Tyre, with them having fled war-torn Lebanon in 2006.
