The man who played the well-known Emmerdale character Butch Dingle has embarked on an entirely new career outside of acting.
Actor Paul Loughran's character Butch was killed off in a village bus crash in 2000, leaving Loughran out of a job.
After leaving Emmerdale behind, Loughran went on to appear in ITV's The Bill and Heartbeat. He was also in Blue Murder from 2003 to 2009, playing DS Butchers.
