Emmerdale actor Hornby dies at 63

Clive Hornby was Emmerdale's longest-serving cast member
Actor Clive Hornby, who played Jack Sugden in ITV1 soap Emmerdale, has died at the age 63.

It was announced in January that Hornby would be taking a break from the soap because of ill health.

The actor had been in Emmerdale for 28 years after signing up on a three-month contract and was the soap's longest-serving cast member.

Hornby, the third actor to play Jack Sugden, enjoyed success as drummer with 1960s Liverpool band The Dennisons.

Oh my god! Terrible news, what has he actually died of though?

RIP Clive. I wonder how he's going to be written out

[Chris_2k11]

also 63 is no age to die.

[Perdita]

Perhaps they do the same as they did for Mike Reid in EE. I only wrote to ITV a couple of weeks ago, enquiring about his health and they would just say that he is still recovering but would hopefully be back on screen soon. Never said what his illness was

RIP Clive
