Emmerdale’s Danny Miller flooded with support by co-stars over major career update — fans are in shock!
The ITV soap actor is turning his attention to a popular BBC series
Emmerdale star Danny Miller has been flooded with support by his ITV soap co-stars as he provided a major career update.
Danny made his debut on the dales all the way back in 2008, instantly becoming a fan favourite in the role of Aaron Dingle. The past 16 years have seen him involved in some of the biggest storylines tackled in the ITV soap.
Recent months have seen Aaron trying to navigate his relationship with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) once again after his marriage to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) ended in disaster. John was exposed for purposefully putting lives in danger just to save them, with his ‘hero complex’ resulting in the death of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
Thankfully for viewers, Aaron and Ryan’s love story is back on track after John was killed by Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) during the Corriedale crossover event with Coronation Street in January. Since then Aaron and Robert have been placed in charge of Butlers Farm following the Tates’ takeover.
Away from the soap, it was announced on Sunday (April 19) that Danny will be taking part in the first ever full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice. The new six-part series will see the celebrities facing a range of weekly business challenges set by Lord Alan Sugar.
