Emmerdale's Marlon Dingle actor Mark Charnock's very private love life and surprise real age Soap lovers are in for a treat tonight with a two hour Emmerdale special on ITV.
Character Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, has been at the very heart of village life since he arrived in 1996, and, having followed his various trials and tribulations over the years, many viewers almost feel as though they know him personally.
Although little is known about Mark's family life, he'll often share updates on Instagram about his various behind-the-scenes interests, which appear to include gardening, reading, and animals.

According to Mark: "Emmerdale has worked with some amazing people on this storyline, including the Stroke Association, clinicians and survivors, people who have actually been through it.
