Here come the brides on Emmerdale

EMMERDALE’S Ruby Haswell dreamt of a big white wedding, so the soap’s costume department gave the character a stunning, sweetheart-necklined, full-skirted confection for her nuptials to Ali Spencer.

Things weren’t so picture-perfect behind the scenes, however, for Alicya Eyo, who plays waitress Ruby, and co-star Kelli Hollis, who plays her factory-worker fiancee.

“On the takes, we obviously put our heels on, but between takes you look down and we’ve both got these crazy big boots on to keep our feet warm — boots that they probably wear in the Antarctic,” Eyo says, hooting with laughter.
