EMMERDALE fans have been left shocked after recognising the actor that has been casted to play Billy’s racist attacker.
Viewers were left horrified after Billy was beaten in a racist assault – before Ethan was called to defend his attacker.
Ethan met Jordan who had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting Billy but there wasn’t much time for him to establish what had gone on with his client.
Fans were quick to recognise the actor playing Jordan as, Jack Parr, who has been in Peaky Blinders and Silent Witness.
Emmerdale viewers took to Twitter to share their shock at recognising the actor.
One tweeted: “Have they seriously just cast a Peaky Blinders actor (Jack Parr) in the role of Billy’s racist attacker only for said attack to happen off screen-seriously! #Emmerdale.”
Another said: “Hey it’s Peaky Blinders guy!! #Emmerdale,” @sofaneilas said.
