Inside Emmerdale abuse victim actor Joe Warren-Plant’s incredible off camera life with exotic holidays with his girlfriend and nights out with celeb mates
Things might not be looking good for his character Jacob, but judging by his social media the actor's life couldn't be better
EMMERDALE fans have been furious at the torment abuse victim Jacob Gallagher has faced in the soap recently, but in reality Joe Warren-Plant's life is very different.
Despite the actor only being 16 years old, it seems that he has been blessed with an impressive life and he regularly shows it off on social media.
Unlike his character Jacob - who is currently being groomed by evil paedophile Maya Stepney in the soap - Joe has a stable relationship, which he has been in for over a year.
His girlfriend Nicole Haddow regularly features on the teen's Instagram, with the actor constantly posting snaps gushing over his other half.
Joe and his girlfriend have even been lucky enough to jet off to some exotic locations during their time together.
The youngsters appeared to take advantage of every photo opportunity during a trip to Mexico last year, where the bronzed pair posed for photos on the beach, in the resort and even while scuba diving.
After nine years playing Jacob in Emmerdale, Joe has been involved in many intense story lines and seen his fair share of famous faces come and go from the village, some of which have become his friends.
Antony Joshua, Gemma Atkinson and Adam Thomas, as well as several of his former and current co-stars have featured on his Instagram profile as the star has attended celeb parties and fundraisers alongside them.
But the actor's luxury lifestyle doesn't end there, as just last month he gifted himself his 'dream car'- an old fashioned, duck egg blue 1967 Ford Mustang V8 Coupe.
Joe took to social media to thank his friends, family and fans for allowing him to purchase his dream car.
He wrote: "So.......I bought my DREAM car at the age of 16! I never thought I would ever get this lucky.
"Just wanted to say Thankyou to all who played a role in the process: My Family. My friends. And most of all, the fans!
"I love every single one of you and appreciate the continuous support you have given me over the past 9 years at Emmerdale!
"Thankyou for this opportunity, it really means a lot to me."
Despite his excitement, many of his followers were quick to point out that he's too young to drive the car and will have to wait another year before he can legally take it out for a spin.
One follower wrote: "Hope you get some driving lessons for your 17th".
"Can you drive? Surely not I'm sure it's 17," another said.
Responding to the comments, Joe admitted: "Won't be able to drive it for a while yet anyway but I will do ahah!"
