Deena Payne asked 'Emmerdale' bosses not to employ Tony Audenshaw as her on-screen husband.
The 66-year-old actress played Viv Hope on the ITV soap from 1993 to 2011, and she advised the show's producers against hiring the star to play her hubby Bob Hope, because she thought Tony was "really creepy" during the audition process.
She said: "The truth being there were six people auditioning for Bob and the producer came up to me and said, 'Look, did you have any feelings about any of them?'
