Emmerdale star Tony Audenshaw has remembered his late wife and recalled her devastating cancer battle during an appearance on This Morning. The actor, who has played the ITV soap's Bob Hope for 22 years, suffered heartbreak in 2017 when wife Ruth died of pancreatic cancer aged 43.
Her tragic death came 16-months after being diagnosed with the devastating disease. The couple had been married since 1996 after meeting in an aerobics class together three years earlier. They had two children together, George and Emily.
And Tony, who is known for his charity challenges having run completed an impressive ten London Marathons, has revealed his plans to raise vital funds for pancreatic cancer research by cycling 100 miles around London.
