Hollyoaks' David Tag reveals he's opening his own gym after struggling to find work after being killed off soap-
Their first baby boy, Reuben, was born in 2021, with the couple welcoming their second child - another boy named Kaspar - in 2023.
David joined Hollyoaks in 2018 as Sylver, part of the ever-growing McQueen family.
The adopted brother of Goldie McQueen, he arrived in Chester having spent 18 years in prison after being accused of murdering Goldie's abusive biological father.
He went on to marry cousin Mercedes McQueen in 2019, and later killed his adoptive mother Breda – who turned out to be a serial killer.
In the four years he lived in the Hollyoaks village, Sylver found himself consistently in tricky situations: discovering he had a daughter, who later tried to make Mercedes look mentally unwell in order to gain his affection, ending up in a coma when that went wrong, before eventually dying in a building collapse.
Since leaving the show, David has launched his own fitness business and appearing in indie flick, Departures.

Danny Dyer says Bafta win was 'very emotional moment after 35 years in the game'
Actor Danny Dyer has reflected on his win at the Bafta TV Awards and said it was "very emotional" to be given his "flowers" after 35 years in the industry. The former EastEnders star, 48, won the male performance in a comedy award for his role playing Lee in the Sky Max series Mr Bigstuff. Dyer told the PA news agency: "I would like to think that I could maybe inspire some people that feel that they don't stand a chance, being from a working class background, that you can, if you're committed and you have belief in yourself and ambition, that you can certainly be and do whatever you want to do, whatever you want to achieve in life. "I think me maybe winning that Bafta was a moment of going, 'Oh, OK, you know what? Anyone can do it.' "I'm not knocking what I've done, or my achievements or my hard work I've put in, but I do think that it's quite an elite thing, that Bafta thing. "I think that to give me my flowers after 35 years in the game was a very emotional moment for me and I hope it's inspired a lot of other young kids coming through to just keep at it. Keep at it and never give up." Speaking about a lack of working class people in the TV and film industry, Dyer said: "I don't know why it's changed so much. It's a real shame. We need to do something about it." Dyer also said "there's room for another series" of Mr Bigstuff, which follows brothers Lee and Glen, played by Ryan Sampson, who are look for their estranged father in series two, after finding out he is alive. "The character Lee is quite relevant at the moment, in the sense of, the whole masculinity thing, what's going on at the moment with men, and what's true masculinity and what's toxic masculinity," said Dyer. He added: "Lee is quite lovable, and he's got no filter, and he does stand up for what's right… it's a funny little layer to Lee." Dyer has had a busy past year or so, having starred in Disney+ series Rivals and as the protagonist in Nick Love's comedy-drama Marching Powder. Reflecting on life in the limelight, he said: "It's really odd to think of what people's perceptions are of me. I don't know what that is. I think I represent different things to different people. "I think, living in this world of social media, which is really quite destructive and not very nice, it doesn't breed happiness, and people commenting on stuff… I feel like places like Facebook, you might get a lot of hate, obviously Twatter or Twitter, or whatever the f*** it's called, just an awful place to go. "Instagram's a bit kinder. Only really dabble with Instagram. So, for me, there's reality, which is the real world, and then there's the online world, which I feel is a load of bollocks. "I can walk the streets and no one will give me no f****** aggravation, I get nothing but love. If I was to just look at, say Twitter (now called X), then I would never leave my house."

The sneaky Instagram feature that's returned 12 months after being removed – how to turn it off
Scroll to find out how to opt out of this new "invasive" feature LIVE LEAK The sneaky Instagram feature that's returned 12 months after being removed – how to turn it off FURIOUS Instagram users have been left mortified after discovering the return of a sneaky feature. This new update, which is already available in the US and now being rolled out globally, has left users fuming, but luckily there is a way to turn it off. Advertisement 3 Instagram has brought back a reels feature which has left users mortified Credit: Instagram 3 The feature has been dubbed "invasive" by users Credit: Instagram New feature leaves Instagram users outraged The new feature allows your friends to see video posts and reels that you have liked in a dedicated tab. The tab allows your followers to see the content that you engage with from liked videos to comments left on reels. However, the update has been dubbed "invasive" and "diabolical" by users who are far from impressed. One angry user took to X writing: "They just ruined Instagram reels." Advertisement Another instagramer added: "This is so invasive. "I almost flipped out because that means they can see what I liked and commented on some posts that I wouldn't want them to." Sharing these frustrations, one user simply wrote: "What is this madness?" While another added: "REMOVE THIS FEATURE ASAP!!" Advertisement How the update works At the moment, this new feature applies solely to Reels, whereby users can scroll through an infinite selection of short video clips. When you tap on the Reels icon at the bottom of the app you will see two options at the top. The first, 'Reels', shoes the clips as normal, however the second option, 'Friends', solely shows videos that your friends have liked. Beyond just showing clips liked by your friends, it goes one step further and even tells you exactly who has engaged with the video. Advertisement A small profile photo will appear in the bottom left hand corner of the screen to indicate the user that has liked the clip. What's more, you can even tap on the profile picture and send a message in response to the liked video. While this has left users feeling as if their privacy has been invaded, some are welcoming the update. One wrote on X: "Nobody is nosier than me - I have been on the Instagram reels "friends" tab for like two hours now." Advertisement How to opt out of the new feature Thankfully, you don't have to worry too much as there is a way that you can opt out of this update. To do this, simply visit 'Settings' on the app, and scroll down to the subheading 'Who can see your content.' From here, tap on 'Activity in Friends tab' and then change the setting to 'No one.' Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, announced likes appearing on Reels in a video post in January this year, but this new feature is only just rolling out globally, reports the MailOnline. Advertisement Mr Mosseri said: "We're doing this because we want Instagram to be not just a lean-back experience but a participatory one, a social one, one where you actually explore your interests with your friends." The app has also announced that it will be introducing some other new features, including the option to repost reels and posts. If there is a post that to you wish to endorse you can click the repost icon and it will appear in a new tab on your profile. 3 The update is being rolled out globally Credit: Getty
