EMMERDALE star Danny Miller has revealed he has bought a caravan to help him cope with the stress of starring in the soap.
The actor – who plays troubled Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap – took time off from the soap earlier this year to focus on his mental health.
He told the Mirror: “At the back end of last year, I needed some time off. I was struggling family-wise and had some personal issues.
“But it’s made me want it much more than I ever have. I watched the show as a fan and seeing the storylines play out on screen made me want to get back into it. I fell in love with it more.”
The actor found that buying a caravan in Wales helped him – and he can go there to unwind from the stress in his life.
He added: “We’ve bought a caravan near Rhyl,” he says. “I’m an old man in a caravan.
“My mum’s got one here, so that’s why we bought one. We’ve been doing a lot of walking, beach trips and plastic collection on the beach.”
Danny’s set to have a busier year coming up as HOAR Online exclusively revealed how Aaron is getting a new love interest after his divorce from Robert Sugden.
The man will be a blast from the past and turn out to be a lad Aaron bullied at school for being gay.
A source said: “Aaron wasn’t always the Aaron fans have grown to love – as a teenager he was completely different.
“Ben will force him to confront what happened in school and sparks could fly between them.
“It’s going to be a dramatic and explosive storyline full of twists and turns.
“There’s the potential that Aaron and Ben could develop into something more – but viewers will have to wait to see how it plays out.”
