Danny Miller has gushed about his experience back on the Emmerdale set to record a special lockdown episode of the show.

The ITV soap resumed filming this week for six one-off episodes featuring a limited cast and crew, starting with a two-hander between Aaron (Miller) and Cain (Jeff Hordley).

"WOW - it was so good to be back in Aaron's house with his lodger," Miller wrote on Twitter. "The Aaron & Cain episode was the first of the six lockdown episodes to be shot out of that block and under the new structures and rules so everyone was naturally anxious of how and what changes we would face.

"Well I can tell you, the episode is amazing. You're going to love it! I wouldn't have wanted to share breaking into this new world of television with many others than my good pal Jeff Hordley - who is incredible in this beautiful episode - written by our very own Adam Sales.

"And all the credit goes to our director @ianbevitt & @emmerdale - from paper to screen, for turning the production round to make a great episode at a distance - so we may not see a kiss or a fight on TV for a while, but this shows we can do without and do safely. Bravo @ITV"

The new episodes mean that Emmerdale will avoid going off air next month once pre-lockdown episodes run out.
