Emmerdale Mackenzie star Lawrence Robb’s life off TV with stunning girlfriend
Since barrelling onto our screens in October 2020 as the long-lost brother of Moira Barton, it’s safe to say that Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd has been followed by no shortage of trouble. From dodgy business dealings to questionable romances, the character has been at the heart of several storylines.
Most recently he was left fighting for his life after coming face to face with a bull on the farm, leading him to collapse after being attacked. This incident came following a stabbing earlier in the year and a kidnapping at Christmas - no matter what he does, it seems the drama is quick to follow.
Thankfully Lawrence Robb, the actor who plays Mackenzie lives a far less eventful life off screen! From looking after his two adorable dogs, and his lookalike siblings to finding love with his new girlfriend...

The soap star originally hails from Kilmacolm, north-west of Glasgow in Scotland - and has always been keen to stay true to his Scottish roots. Growing up in the leafy village, Lawrence is one of four children, with the actor having two brothers JJ and Mitchell Robb and a sister called Abi.
Clearly a close-knit family, Lawrence previously shared a snap of the three brothers with their matching personalised registration plates to his 53.7K Instagram followers, before also sharing a snap of all the siblings together and dressed to the nines for a night out.
Is Lawrence in a relationship?
Lawrence is believed to be in a relationship with Pamela Blair, a West End star who has joined the cast in The Devil Wears Prada musical production. Other theatre credits include Beauty and the Beast, Oklahoma!, Cinderella, 42nd Street and Curtains.
The talented star has also appeared in the film Tomorrow Morning and made appearances on TV in BBC Proms and ITV's The Olivier Awards. While Lawrence keeps his love life away from the spotlight, Pamela posted a series of snaps in September from their latest adventure in Tuscany to celebrate her 28th birthday.
Before this, seemingly confirming their romance in July, the West End star shared photos from their Cornwall getaway, where Lawrence posed with her adorable pooch.
Does Lawrence have pets?
All any fan needs to do is look at Lawrence’s social media feeds to know he is a huge dog lover and can often be found posting his adorable dachshunds named Peaches and Pip, to his Instagram fans.
Hidden Talent
In addition to his acting skills, Lawrence is also a talented singer after he studied musical theatre and has shared an acoustic cover of Stand By Me with his followers which saw him playing the keyboard while covering the Ben E. King hit. Interestingly, Lawrence originally wanted to pursue a career in music and was professionally trained in musical theatre before being bitten by the acting bug.
In a candid admission, Lawrence previously explained that he was simply taking any job as they came along, be it in music or on screen, before finally finding a happy medium with acting on TV and sharing song covers on social media.
Career Highlights
While Lawrence's biggest role to date is of course his starring role in Emmerdale, he previously starred alongside Billie Piper in his very first TV role, I Hate Suzie.
