Sam Hall took over the role of Samson Dingle back in 2009 when he was just five years old and has tackled some huge storylines over recent years.
Before Sam even appeared on Emmerdale, his on-screen character was at the heart of a emotional storyline as Samson's mum Alice – played by Ursula Holden-Gill – was told she had terminal cancer before giving birth.
Samson has caused some explosive scenes on the ITV soap himself of late - including a controversial teenage pregnancy storyline and a struggle to adapt to life as a father.
