Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas has teased a potential return to the ITV soap five years after his character dramatically left the village.
The I’m A Celeb star made is first appearance as Moira Barton’s son in 2009 and remained on the soap for nearly a decade before departing for good in 2018.
After confessing to the murder of Emma Barton to protect Moira, it looked as though Adam would be facing life behind bars before best mate Aaron and step-dad Cain came to his rescue.

The Dingle duo broke Adam out of his prison transport van and provided him with a fake passport, saying their final goodbyes before he departed for a new life in France.
Ever since that moment, fans have been longing for the character to return and the 34-year-old recently shed some light on the topic during a chat with Lorraine Kelly.
Adam was discussing his return as Donte Charles in BBC drama Waterloo Road, prompting the show host to ask if he plans on making an Emmerdale comeback anytime soon.
When asked about the ITV soap, Adam gushed: “Oh, it’s the best!”

He continued: “That’s what I miss the most as well is the cast and the actors that work there, they’re just incredible.”
“You genuinely do become such a huge family, I miss them all so much. So look, never say never, I would love to go back one day!
“If the story was right, then yeah, definitely. Like it’s always held a special place in my heart, Emmerdale, and yeah. I’ve got some friends from there, Danny Miller, Kelvin Fletcher, we’ll be friends for life.”

It comes after the return of Waterloo Road saw Adam reprise his role as Donte Charles – a character he played for three years from 2006.
He reunited with his co-star Katie Griffiths who returned as Donte’s high school sweetheart and now wife Chlo Grainger.
Fans were left utterly devastated at the end of the first episode however, after Chlo died suddenly after sustaining what she thought were minor injuries in a car accident.
