One former Emmerdale and Coronation Street star has confessed he doesn’t have a “pot to p**s in” after being axed from both soaps.
Reece Dinsdale rose to fame as cobbles baddie Joe McIntyre in Coronation Street back in 2008, before taking on the role of Vinny Dingle’s abusive father Paul Ashdale in Emmerdale from 2020.
He has also appeared in everything from Waterloo Road to Life on Mars – and now occasionally pops back to the world of ITV soaps to act as a director.

But the actor confessed he doesn’t live a “lavish lifestyle”, and was left low on funds after fulfilling one of his dreams.
Reece recently splashed out on a motorhome in order to travel around the country having adventures.
Taking to Twitter to share his news, Reece uploaded a snap of the vehicle overlooking a stunning lake and mountains as he explained: “We don’t live a lavish lifestyle… far from it.
“Today I invested all my savings into my dream machine. Not got a pot left to p**s in… but the dreams are now endless!”
The star was quickly supported by fans in the comments section, as one praised: “Amazing… enjoy every minute!”
“Wow, that’s amazing!” someone else told Reece, as a third fan echoed: “Worth every penny fella!”
It certainly isn’t all bad, as the star has just returned to Emmerdale as a director for several hour-long specials, confessing he is “very proud” of his work.

The star tweeted: “I’m off to try to get some kip. Start shooting a new block of Emmerdale early tomorrow.
“No matter how many times you do it, you’re always a little nervous & apprehensive for your first day. I guess it’s a good thing. The day I don’t feel that… will be the day I give it up.”
He later added: “For those of you who enjoy your #Emmerdale, you might be interested to hear that the two one hour episodes that I recently directed will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
“I’m very proud of them. Hope you enjoy!”
According to IMDb, Reece has directed a total of 19 episodes of Emmerdale, as well as four instalments of Corrie, since leaving both soaps.
