Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick has been forced to ramp up security measures at her Yorkshire home after being subjected to vile homophobic death threats.
The 46-year-old, who plays vet Vanessa Woodfield in the long-running ITV soap, even had to involve police recently due to concerns for the safety of her family.
The actress came out as gay in 2013 whilst she was together with Rosie Nicoll, whom she later married. The pair split two years later, however, before Michelle found love with producer Kate Brooks. The pair subsequently wed in 2019 and share a son.
