Emmerdale stars Natalie J Robb and Jonny McPherson 'in real-life relationship'

Emmerdale stars Natalie J Robb and Jonny McPherson have sparked dating rumours after they appeared together for a Zoom call.

Natalie, who plays Moira Dingle on the soap, and Jonny, who plays Dr Liam Cavanagh, joined their fellow cast members to celebrate Liam Fox’s birthday.

The Dan Spencer actor arranged a Zoom celebration with his co-stars as he turns 50, with everyone sinking a few drinks in honour of the occasion.

Each cast member was isolating separately in their own homes, with some of their respective partners also gathering around for the online party.

However, according to Mirror Online, some were quick to notice that Natalie, 45, and Jonny, 38, were sitting next to each other, suggesting they were self-isolating together.

A source reportedly told the publication: “Natalie has had her fair share of romps as Moira but this time she’s found love off-screen. Everyone is so happy for them.

“Lockdown gave them some quality time together and they couldn’t be happier. It’s still early days but Natalie can’t stop smiling.”

A representative for Natalie and Jonny has been contacted by Daily Star Online for comment.

In her caption, she gushed: “Happy big 50 foxy. @Liamfoxactor thankyou so much for making me a part of another special day xx so great to see lots of lovely faces xx”

Liam replied: “What a fab crazy day xxxx”

“Happy Birthday again ‘foxy’ @Liamfoxactor well-done @missjohud for arranging it!!”

Marlon Dingle star Mark Charnock could be seen on the screengrab, having jokingly set his background to a picture of his co-star Dominic Brunt.

Natalie Ann Jamieson, who plays Amy Wyatt, on the soap also showed face, as did Samantha Giles, who recently left Emmerdale as Bernice Blackstock.

Chris Bisson – better known as businessman Jai Sharma – joined the call from his back garden, while Fiona Wade also made a surprise appearance in the bottom right-hand corner of the shot.
