Other snaps include numerous envious shots of sun-drenched getaways to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Naxos, with one photo of the pair sweetly stating ‘thank you for being you.’

The decision came after Nicky learnt that Ruby had hit Ethan Anderson (Emile John) with her car.

Ethan collapsed and died in the days following being run over, with Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) being convinced that it was the hit and run that had killed him.

 

 

When the news arrived that Ethan had an aneurysm that was nothing to do with the hit and run, Caleb and Ruby celebrated with a brandy.

This disgusted Nicky who thought they were being disrespectful to Ethan’s memory. Ruby tried to reason with him but the argument escalated and ended up with Nicky punching his dad and vowing never to speak to his parents again.

In August, it was revealed that Lewis had been confirmed as a Strictly contestant after Kristian Nairn was forced to pull out due to medical reasons.

 

 

‘I haven’t really had time to think about it so the excitement can take over,’ Lewis said at the time, explaining how being a latecomer to the action may not be such a bad thing.

‘I want someone that’s going to push me,’ he said of his dancing partner, while announcing the news on The One Show.

Last Saturday’s launch show saw Lewis paired with professional dancer Katya Jones. Her previous partners include Ed Balls, Joe McFadden and Mike Bushell.

Lewis discussed his family life during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, and that he has a lot of brothers and sisters – and we mean a lot.

Lorraine asked ‘Because everybody’s so friendly, and it is a family, a big family. You are used to that. How many brothers and sisters have you got?’

‘So I’m one of 14,’ he replied, much to Lorraine’s surprise.

She exclaimed: ’14! Good grief, what is Christmas like round at your house?’. to which he responded: ‘Lovely, yeah. I love it!’

Upon his casting, he told Luxe magazine: ‘It’s very surreal. My Nana loves Emmerdale, she’s watched it religiously for as long as I can remember. To now be part of the show she loves so much is amazing.’
