Danny Miller has become embroiled in an Emmerdale war after allegedly sleeping with co-star Isabel Hodgins behind friend Michael Parr’s back.
The actor reportedly had a fling with Isabel, who plays Victoria Barton, last year and kept it a secret from co-star Michael, who had dated Isabel, as well as Danny’s on-off girlfriend, Hollyoaks actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter.
However, Kirsty-Leigh apparently found messages from Isabel on Danny’s phone and confronted him.
The revelation is said to have left Kirsty-Leigh and Michael, who plays Ross Barton in Emmerdale and shares a dressing room with Danny, fuming.
Danny and ex Kirsty-Leigh
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “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 arguments among the cast who split into two camps over who to support.”
The source claims most of the cast sided with Michael and Danny felt like an “outcast” as a result.
Isabel’s Emmerdale character Victoria has had flings with both Danny and Michael’s characters but she started dating Michael in real life last summer.
She was good friends with Danny, who started dating Kirtsy-Leigh again in January last year, but Isabel allegedly started seeing him secretly just months later.
Isabel and Danny insist they were both single when they started dating.
Isabel Hodgins
But a source close to Kirsty said: “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.”
She apparently tried to forgive Danny and the pair went on holiday to Lanzarote together but they eventually split and Kirsty moved out of the home they shared together last year.
The source continued: “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.”
Michael Parr
It was previously reported Kirsty dumped Danny twice over claims he cheated on her.
They first broke up in 2011 and Danny said he had been “a complete idiot” at the time.
The couple got back together but then split again the next year when she accused him of chatting up girls in nightclubs.
Kirsty apparently decided she wasn’t going to give Danny another chance when she found out about Isabel.
