Fans of former Emmerdale star Reece Dinsdale were left with their jaws on the floor after the actor shared a throwback snap from 30 years ago.
The 64-year-old telly legend, who played the notorious Paul Ashdale in the ITV favourite, became a well-known face when his character rocked up to the show’s fictional Yorkshire village four years back, where he shockingly mistreated his son Vinny.
Paul’s time on the soap ended in dramatic fashion as he was killed off on what should have been the happiest day of his life – his wedding day – after being caught in a chilling sequence of events involving Jimmy King’s van, a collapsing barn beam, and a catastrophic explosion.
