Dominic Brunt hopes he’ll be on Emmerdale until he’s in his 90s.
The actor loves playing loveable Paddy Kirk on the ITV soap. So far he’s racked up a whopping 27 years in the village and he wants to keep going for as long as possible.
He said: “I never thought I’d be on the show for this long. I originally signed up to do eight episodes. But I think they forgot to write me out.

“I can see myself staying for as long as Ken Barlow. Why not? I used to sell towels on market stalls and I was a welder.

“I know the difference between a good job and a bad job. Being on Emmerdale is a good job and I love it. My contract is renewed a year at a time – when they ask me to stay, it’s flattering.
“And it’s always an easy decision to keep doing the show. I don’t think about it, I just sign it.”
Dominic loves his job thanks to co-star Lisa Riley, who plays his screen wife Mandy Dingle.
He added: “Me and Lisa are great friends. She is the funniest person. I just love working with her.
“Every day I’m whistling and skipping into work. I love it. I love the stories. When I get the script, I read it from front to back. I’m a fan of the show.”
