Beth Cordingly has marked a major milestone with real-life partner and former Emmerdale legend Ian Kelsey.

The actress, who plays fan-favourite Ruby Miligan on the ITV soap, has been in a relationship with former Emmerdale star Ian – who rose to fame as Kim Tate’s former flame Dave Glover – for four years.

Taking to Instagram with a snap of her and Ian together, Beth wrote: ‘4 years’, joking that her beau looks like he’s ‘being held captive’ in the picture in question.

‘But then I never was too good with the super keen,’ she added with a winking emoji and a heart.

Soap star Beth, who also starred in The Bill, previously shared her love for Ian on social media, writing: ‘I love you on tour. I love you at home. I love you away. I love you here.

‘You are the stuff dreams are made of. Thank god I found you.
#stillcantbelieveyourereal,’ she said last year.

‘It’s taken me 47 years to get here. And some amazing people in my life with everyday a school day. Stay open. Own your mistakes.

‘WE ALL MAKE THEM. I MAKE HUNDREDS EVERY DAY. Proper CRINGE ONES. So. LEARN. Life IS a marathon not a sprint. Seatbelt on. There will be time.’

Beth also discussed how ‘supportive’ Ian was when she landed the role of Ruby.
