Emmerdale actress Flo Wilson, known for playing Claudette Anderson, has been married to Coronation Street actor John Smeathers since 2018. The couple, both actors, have kept their personal life private.
Flo Wilson's Age Surprises Fans
Fans were stunned to discover that 63-year-old Flo is only ten years older than Kevin Mathurin, who plays her on-screen son Charles Anderson. One Reddit user wrote: "Kevin Mathurin, who plays Charles, is 53. Flo Wilson, who plays his mum Claudette, is 63. My mind is blown at how young Claudette is in real life. Flo is actually YOUNGER than Claire King (Kim Tate!)."
Another added: "If it wasn't for her sour faced expressions, and the head scarf with wisps of grey hair sticking out of it, there's no way Claudette would look old enough to be Charles' mother."
Career Highlights
Flo made her Emmerdale debut in 2023 and has been involved in storylines including the death of her grandson Ethan and confrontations with villagers. Claudette recently formed a bond with Kev Barton, Robert Sugden's ex-husband.
Before Emmerdale, Flo played Nurse Bradshaw over ten years ago, helping Zak Dingle after a breakdown. She also appeared on Coronation Street as childminder Kerry Matthews in 1998, a nurse in 2008-2009, and midwife Claire Hinton in 2014.
John Smeathers made his Coronation Street debut in 2018 as a clergyman conducting Aidan Connor's funeral.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX, followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm.
