Emmerdale viewers have called for actor Danny Miller to be fired from the soap after a foul-mouthed Instagram rant

Danny has played Aaron Dingle on Emmerdale since 2003, and is currently involved in an adoption storyline with his on-screen partner Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).

But now fans are calling for his character to be axed, following Danny’s vicious social media tirade, where he called a fan a “fucking idiot” and a “shithouse”.

The garbled Instagram live stream lasted almost half an hour and was seemingly filmed while Danny was out for dinner with friends, as fans implored him to cut the video after he shouted “Fuck the Soap Awards”.

“British Soap Awards I remember when we used to be friends,” he said in the video. “I used to turn up every year and win something but now...Let's talk about the Soap Awards nominees...".

Turning to his friends he said, “Why have you not stopped me yet, this could be my career over? Why haven't you stopped me yet?

"Remember when Danny Miller lost his mind?", he said, before abruptly ending the stream.
