Emmerdale star Tony Audenshaw has detailed his late wife Ruth’s battle with pancreatic cancer ahead of a fundraising cycle ride in her memory.
The soap star, who has played Bob Hope on the Dales for more than 20 years, lost his wife in April 2017.
The Lancashire-born actor appeared on This Morning on Thursday to raise awareness of the early signs of pancreatic cancer, telling Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that his wife’s tumour was initially said to be “inoperable”.
