EMMERDALE'S longest-serving cast-member Clive Hornby, who played Jack Sugden, died last night at the age of 63.

The Liverpool-born actor passed away in a Leeds hospice after losing his battle with cancer.

The illness forced him to quit the soap in January after 28 years.
Clive first appeared in Emmerdale on February 19, 1980 after appearances in TV shows such as Gerry Anderson’s Space 1999 and Minder.

Anita Turner, Series Producer, Emmerdale said: “This is a devastating loss and we are all deeply saddened. Clive will be greatly missed by everyone who has worked with him on Emmerdale during the past 28 years.

"He was a hugely popular and well-respected member of cast and a terrific actor. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.”

A date has yet to be set for the funeral.

So sad to hear of Clive passing away another life taken by Cancer. Maybe Clive wanted to keep it a secret from the media that is why we only knew he was ill but not how badly. Emmerdale will probably to a special send off for Clive in a few months like they did when Stan Richards (Seth Armstrong) died.

RIP Clive. free from pain.
