If Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope had followed in his family’s footsteps, he’d be slugging it out in a boxing ring. Instead he’s playing handsome nanny Nicky in the ITV soap, who last night floored viewers in a shock plot twist.
While his brothers Adam, Danny and Peter all won the Northern area title as professional fighters, Lewis chose a different career – dancing.
By the age of 11 he was appearing in one of the leading roles in Billy Elliot: The Musical in London’s West End.
