Emmerdale star Danny Miller has revealed which prop he pinched from the set of the ITV soap.

Appearing on the latest episode of the Off Script podcast, hosted by former co-star Kelvin Fletcher, he said: “I had me eye on this parasol – it was outside The Woolpack – for a while, and I saw my chance.

“I had this tiny little car, I mean it was one of them where you can just about roll the seat back and then you’re sort of sat on someone’s lap.

“I thought, ‘I’ve got to go for it’, so, this parasol – on set, [branded] with Ephraim Monk, which is their lager, if you didn’t know – in this tiny car.

“So I had to wind the passenger window down, back on the M62, this Ephraim Monk thing going ‘t-t-t-t-t-t-t’ as I was driving, I’m driving, every two minutes slapping me in the head.”

The actor, who has played Aaron Dingle since 2008 (with a break or two along the way), went on to explain what happened next.

He said: “[I was] thinking it’d be worth it, and then one of me mates – I think it was Adam Thomas, who plays Adam Barton – he basically looked at the window and went, ‘Is that from work?’ and I went, ‘Yeah, yeah’.

“He went: ‘Hey, that is so sad’. I took it down. I went back into work, I remember, I think a couple of weeks later, I was on a tea break and walked past and they were prop checking and went: ‘Sure we’re missing a parasol.'”

Elsewhere in the interview, Danny revealed a nasty injury that forced the writers to change one of his return storylines.
