Jonny McPherson’s character on Emmerdale has found himself unlucky in love again.
Dr Liam Cavanagh hasn’t had the easiest time in the village, after his only daughter was murdered by a serial killer and losing his wife after her drug addiction.
However, in real life, Jonny’s life is far more normal than his fictional counterpart.

How old is Jonny and where is he from?
Jonny was born on 4 January 1982, making him 41 years old. He is originally from Greater London and grew up in Kingston upon Thames.
When did Jonny join Emmerdale?
While he may be best known for playing Liam Cavanagh, the character didn’t mark his first appearance on Emmerdale.
He first played the role of another doctor, Jonathan Boam, who looked after Donna Windsor back in September 2008. She was recovering from a car crash.
He returned to play a nurse who took care of Jackson Walsh who was injured by a train in October 2010 and another doctor who fixed up Cain Dingle when he was attacked in December 2011.
His final role before taking on Liam was in August 2013 when he tried to help painkiller addict Rhona Goskirk.
Is Jonny in a relationship?
Jonny is currently in a relationship with his girlfriend of two years and briefly opened up about their romance earlier this year.
“I am with someone,” he told OK! Magazine. "She is absolutely wonderful. We’ve been together for a couple of years. I am really happy."
The soap star previously dated his co-star Natalie J. Robb, who plays Moira Dingle. They started going out in January 2020 but decided to keep it a secret.
They confirmed their relationship in June 2020 after appearing together on a Zoom call to celebrate their co-star Liam Fox’s birthday.
The pair become close after going on a charity trip to Lapland where they found out they had a lot in common.
They went on to move in together during the first lockdown but broke up some time later.
While they dated, Jonny called Natalie a “wonderful” girlfriend and that he learned a lot from her.
Where does Jonny live?
Jonny previously lived in a stunning house with his rescue dog Molly. He has shared snaps on his home on social media. He previously revealed that he has moved out of the boat and now lives in a flat.
He explained that being an actor can be a “precarious profession” which makes it difficult to get a mortgage.
However, his long-term stint on Emmerdale has allowed him to get on the property ladder.
He now lives in an apartment in Leeds and has sold his canal boat after putting it on Airbnb for 18 months.
