Emmerdale's Danny Miller gives fans major update on his career away from ITV soap
Emmerdale star Danny Miller has given an update to fans on his career away from the ITV soap.
Danny Miller, 33, who plays Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale, took to Instagram to share that he will be teaming up with social media expert Ryan T Williams to take his children's audiobook project with Capital FM presenter Nigel Clucas to the next level.
Albert's Bookshelf started out as Danny's gift to his son Albert. He asked Nigel if he could help him with a few recordings of Albert's favourite books to turn them into audio books so that he can listen along while they are occupied, grabbing the attention of his son then realising they could put the recordings out into the world for other children to listen to in 2023.

The Emmerdale actor teamed up with radio presenter Nigel Clucas to release a range of spoken stories for children which are now available on major platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible and Amazon, with an audience across over 120 countries. From Thomas and Friends to The Cat in The Hat, the podcast has featured the voices of fellow soap stars such as Coronation Street's Ryan Thomas, Andy Whyment, Brooke Vincent, Lucy Fallon and Steve Royle.
Danny Miller’s Instagram posted: “Myself and @nigewingmanclucas are delighted to welcome @ryantwilliamsofficial to the Alberts Bookshelf team as he takes up a directors role within the company.
“We have been wanting to make the appointment for a while as we searched for the right person. Never did I think we’d manage to add someone with Ryan’s knowledge, experience and passion. It became very obvious, very quickly during our meeting that everything we are aiming to do with @alberts_bookshelf - in education for children and putting more books to the eyes and ears of all ages - was something that was shared with Ryan and our vision is now clear going forward of what we want to achieve.

Ryan T Williams is the founder of 'It's Gone Viral' a social media company which is LADbible and Steven Bartlett's Social Chain's biggest rival. They educate, inform, humour and provide nostalgia for audiences of all ages. Starting his social media company from scratch with no initial investment, Ryan bootstrapped his way to success with other two co-founders, Andrew Trotman and Matthew Thomas, leading to a lucrative exit. It's Gone Viral It's Gone Viral, now the KOMI group, was founded in 2016 and over the past four years, its team of content creators, analysts and video producers have made and then distributed video content and viral campaign adverts for international brands such as BBC Films, O2, Universal, Bud Light and Disney.
When Deluded Brendan was at its height in 2015, Emmerdale’s Danny Miller started following the account, and being a Liverpool fan, Danny interacted with the account regularly, resulting in growth. As Ryan was faceless behind Deluded Brendan, the pair had spoken, but it wasn't until this year that the two met when Danny and Nigel attended a live speaker session for Manchester based parenting magazine Brood that Ryan happened to be talking at, and with a little dutch courage, Ryan said ‘nice to meet you again’ and of course Danny had no clue who he was, but as soon as he mentioned his parody account, Danny's eyes lit up from nostalgia to which he told Ryan he was starstruck.
Though never meeting in person until now, 10 years later, the trio instantly hit it off as if they have known each other their whole lives. Ryan has been invited to help them scale up with social media advisory, taking Albert's Bookshelf from a bedtime ritual to world wide success, entertaining and educating children across the globe.
Ryan says "I've waited a long time for my next project, and recently nothing has aligned, and this is the first external company I will be joining on an official capacity and I can't wait to see where we will take it. It is an excitable project and something I cannot wait to get involved in to take things to the next level."
