Corrie's Leanne icon Jane Danson's marriage to fellow soap star that most fans don't know about


Coronation Street legend Jane Danson has astonishingly been married to fellow soap star Robert Beck for more than two decades – but it seems most fans aren't aware of this

However, many will be surprised to hear her husband Robert also starred on the hit ITV soap opera having joined the cast in 2008 before swiftly departing just one year later. The 56 year old, who has also starred in Brookside, Hollyoaks, and Emmerdale, came onto the scene as the character Jimmy Dockerson, who was Tony Gordon's (played by Gray O'Brien) henchman. Jane paid tribute to her beau when his return to the Yorkshire Dales-based drama was announced in a sweet Instagram post.
