Emmerdale star Leah Bracknell's widower Jez Hughes has reportedly found love again two years after her death.

Jez married the actress, who portrayed the character Zoe Tate on the ITV soap opera, on 10 March 2017 after being together for a whopping 13 years.

However, Leah tragically died at the age of 55 in September 2019 after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer three years prior.

Now, according to The Sun, Jez, 47, has found happiness again with Precious Dunlop, who he has allegedly been dating since April this year.

The publication claims the pair recently went on a camping trip together and a source said: "Jez's friends are delighted for him and have wished them both well.

"It's been such a heartbreaking time losing Leah, but he is back in a happy place and is enjoying life once more."

Weeks after Leah's passing, Jez took to his Facebook page to share a heartbreaking tribute to his "soulmate", whose real name was Alison, or Ali for short.

"Thank you everyone for all your kind words, prayers and love. They mean the world to me at this time and I apologise that I can't respond individually as I haven't the words in me right now," he started.

Jez continued: "My darling wife, best friend and soul mate flies free in spirit.

"I have been the luckiest man in the world to spend time walking, dancing, laughing, praying, dreaming, singing, drumming, talking, travelling, crying, planning, hoping, loving, going wild, exploring, rebelling, forgiving, celebrating, playing, sharing secrets at dawn, opening hearts, minds and soul- alongside a woman of such depth, power, humour, humility, honour, intelligence and love- it is impossible to do justice to with the transient, flimsy power of words.

"Ali is the bravest person I've ever met and she faced the last three years of cancer with dignity, grace and light. She shone bright in this world with fire in her heart and water in her soul. The great mystery of existence always visible through her beautiful eyes.

"She inspired and changed the lives of so many, loved ones and strangers alike. Every day I learn of more people who she helped which brings the warmth of pride and gratitude to have known her into my heart.

"My heart is truly broken and the pain is intense as I wander aimlessly, waiting to awake from this dream, from hour to hour, day to day.
