Emmerdale actor runs popular takeaway that's 'visited regularly' by ITV co-star couple

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.

The business - run by the pair alongside Adnan's wife Faten Dehaini - is said to boast a number of celebrity customers, including Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, 26.

Chris Chittell, 74, and wife Lesley Dunlop, 66, - who play Eric Pollard and Brenda Walker on Emmerdale - are regular customers, according to the Manchester Evening News.

They're said to visit Tyros every month or so, with Hussein - who studied performing arts at college - said to have been in Emmerdale dozens of times as a background artist.

Hussein pursues such acting opportunities on the side of running the takeaway, which serves a variety of mezze-style dishes such as chicken stews and grilled lamb skewers.

The family are understood to cook together, with Adnan - who alongside his four brothers had played for Tadamon Sour SC football club in Lebanon - discussing such.

He told the outlet that sometimes the food has a "little extra salt," which he cited was due to Faten, and that sometimes it is "a little bit spicy," which he said was down to Hussein.

There is said to have been queues down the street for the business prior to the Covid pandemic, though the outlet reports that such a volume of customers hasn't yet returned.

Faten said that it's "very difficult," saying that 90 percent of their customers having worked in offices - with many of them now believed to be working from home instead.

And despite difficulty following the pandemic, there's said to be an "unusually devoted" customer base for Tyros - with many regulars visiting the business in Greater Manchester.
