Emmerdale's Danny Miller 'saved distressed man on motorway bridge'

Emmerdale star Danny Miller came to the rescue of a distressed man who was preparing to jump off a bridge, say reports.

The ITV soap star, who is best known for his role as Aaron Dingle, reportedly talked to the man on the bridge after approaching him on a motorway in Audenshaw, Manchester.

Danny, 30, shared his own mental health battle with the man and even offered him his number as support, The Mirror reports.
