Trouble On The Farm As Danny Miller’s Fling With Emmerdale Co-Star Revealed

Sometimes there’s more drama going on behind the scenes of a soap than on-screen - and it’s all kicking off behind the cameras at Emmerdale.

Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Livesy, and co-star Isabel Hodgins, Victoria, reportedly had a secret fling behind their other co-star Mike Parr’s (Ross Barton) back. That’s a love triangle worthy of a British Soap Award.

And the naughty little romance is said to have caused a rift in the cast, with most folk taking Mike’s side and making Danny a bit of an outsider.

According to The Sun on Sunday, the fling was discovered when Danny’s on/off girlfriend, Hollyoaks’ star Kirsty-Leigh Porter, found messages from Isabel on his phone.

A source told the paper: “Isabel and Danny thought they could keep their romance secret but when Kirsty-Leigh saw the texts on his phone, the game was up.

“She was furious. She felt hurt and betrayed. Michael was also angry. He thought he and Danny were close friends. The tension between them caused major problems on set, because Michael made it crystal clear he didn’t want to be around Danny.

“The revelations caused arguments among the cast who split into two camps over who to support. Most sided with Michael, which left Danny feeling almost like an outcast. There has been very little sympathy for him over how he has acted in this.”

The paper goes on to say that Isabel and Danny, who grew close last year, claim they were both single at the time of the fling.

But a source close to Kirsty-Leigh doesn’t agree: “Just days before she found Isabel’s messages, Kirsty-Leigh was tweeting about how in love she was with Danny. It was a bombshell for her.”

“It’s well known she and Danny have had a rocky relationship, but she thought he’d learnt from his mistakes and things seemed to be going well. After she found out about Isabel, she tried to forgive Danny. They even went on a holiday to Lanzarote. But it was a big part of the reason she finally ended the relationship and moved out last year. She couldn’t cope with what had happened in the end.

The source went on: “Isabel and Michael also stopped seeing each other after her romance with Danny came out. They got back together, and that went some way to improving the situation between him and Danny, although there is still tension.

”They seem to have accepted that they have to work together, so they might as well put what happened behind them and get on with it.”

Danny has recently won acclaim for his portrayal of abused Aaron, with fans taking to social media to pile on the praise.
