Ex-Emmerdale star Danny Miller shares new project after soap exit

Former Emmerdale star Danny Miller has unveiled his first project since bowing out of the ITV soap as Aaron Dingle.

Danny – whose final scenes aired back in December – has decided to pivot from one small screen to another, with the actor announcing the creation of a new YouTube channel.

Confirming the impending launch of We Are The Millers earlier this week, Danny revealed that he and his fiancée Steph Jones, their son Albert, and their dogs Gini and Kenny will feature in a weekly vlog.

Alongside an introductory video, the Miller family said they hoped to share their lives with fans as they plan their wedding and learn British Sign Language.

"This is all new to me and Danny. We've never done blogging before, so please bear with us," Steph said, addressing their new subscribers.

"We do want to make this page as good as possible, but obviously we're going to be building up our skills in terms of editing our videos and making them much better."

As well as offering fans an insight into their "lives day-to-day", the We Are The Millers channel will follow the family as they take signing classes.

"I hope you do enjoy it because, joking aside, it's important to us because we do wanna cover a lot of the deaf signing that we've been learning courtesy of TinyTalk," Danny explained.

"Albie isn't hard of hearing, but it's something that we wanted to do to give him the best chance of a start in life and be able to communicate with everybody."

Danny's new project comes just a couple of months after the fan-favourite decided to bid farewell to Emmerdale.

Opening up about his decision to leave the soap, Danny – who also won the latest series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! – explained that he wanted to "open a new chapter".

"I've been there 13 years, I had a little break, but 13 years ago I started as Aaron," he said. "I grew up with him and I feel very protective of him and I think it was time for him to start a new life."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
