Dales star plans Isle of Wight swim

Emmerdale actor Lyndon Ogbourne has announced that he plans to take part in a charity swim to the Isle of Wight next year.

The soap star, who plays Nathan Wylde in the Yorkshire-based drama, revealed that he will treat himself by attending a music festival on the island after completing his challenge.

He told Teletext: "Next year I'm hoping to swim from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight. I love going and raving at festivals.

"There's a festival on the Isle of Wight, and I swim there and go to the festival. Should be full on."

Ogbourne, who joined the ITV1 soap at the beginning of the year, recently discussed his desire to work with his ex-girlfriend Billie Piper in the future.
