Emmerdale Nicky actor Lewis Cope has a link to Hollywood hunk Tom Holland that fans may not know about.
Lewis joined Emmerdale in December 2022 and has already been involved in some huge storylines. He was the secret son of Caleb Milligan, who turned out to be a Dingle and a Tate.
Then more recently he was left for dead by Ethan Anderson (Emily John) when crashed the car he was driving. Luckily, Lewis’ life off-screen is far less dramatic – quite the opposite.

Northern lad Lewis, 29, has appeared in a handful of other shows, including one episode of Vera in 2021. But he’s also had a career on the stage.
Lewis previously played Michael in Billy Elliot at Victoria Palace Theatre in London when he was much younger. It was there that he met Spider-Man star Tom, 27.
Speaking to Broadway.com previously, Lewis said: “I played opposite Tom Holland, as Billy, every week, and, I mean, what has happened to him since then is brilliant. I’m over the moon for him that he is doing so well, which is as it should be; acting isn’t a competition.”

Despite starring on the stage alongside each other in their childhood, it appears their friendship continued into their young adult lives too.
The duo have appeared on each other’s Instagram accounts a few times, though nothing too recently. It seems they enjoyed a night out together with another friend in February 2015.
Tom shared the photo to his account, writing: “Great night out with these legends.” Lewis echoed the sentiments, reposting it to his own page too.
