He said: “I went for an audition last month after doing lots of background work, so it’s a step up for me.

“I found out at the beginning of April I got the part and I think it will air in two months.

“I am over the moon, it’s huge for me having only done extra work before and I just could not stop smiling.”

Previously, Josh has been an extra in Hollyoaks, So Awkward, Last Tango In Halifax and The Bay.

The aspiring actor confessed he’s not the biggest Emmerdale fan but really enjoyed the experience.

He said: “I’ve never watched it before and my family haven’t either, so they’re going to have to watch previous episodes just to make sense of the ones I am in.

“I’m not usually into TV soaps like this, but I loved playing in this.”
