I'm A Celebrity Danny Miller's fiancee, baby and why he quit Emmerdale

Emmerdale star Danny Miller is heading to Wales after signing up for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

ITV has confirmed the 10 famous faces braving the cold and rain ahead of the show's return to Gwrych Castle near Abergele in North Wales.

The flagship series is returning to Wales for a second year due to ongoing coronavirus travel restrictions, preventing filming at its usual location of the Australian jungle.

One contestant set to battle the cold is actor Danny Miller.

Danny Miller quits Emmerdale

The 30-year-old has played Emmerdale's Aaron Dingle on and off for 13 years.

But prior to heading to the Welsh castle, Danny announced he had left the soap.

He told the Mirror: "I'd like to think that I'm very, very far away from Aaron and that's part of the reason why I wanted to do this show.

"I've actually left Emmerdale, unfortunately, and I've decided to start a new path in life."

He said: "I've got my baby now and I'm getting married next year and it's felt like the right time to open a new chapter in my life - god, my nerves are going because I've not really told anybody!

"I'm very emotional about it, actually. It's been a massive part of my life and it's taught me lots of things.

"I've been wanting to spread my wings for a while and a show like this gives me the opportunity to see what else happens after it and kind of start a new life with my family and see what happens."

Danny Miller's fiancee and baby

Danny recently became a first-time father as he and fiancee Steph welcomed their son, Albert.

In January 2021, Danny popped the question to partner Steph Jones.

The couple announced in May 2021 that they were expecting their first child, despite being told they were unlikely to conceive naturally.

They announced the birth of Albert on October 27.

Thoughts on I'm A Celebrity:

Danny said: "I am scared of the eating Trials. I can't even brush my teeth without being sick and I am dreading it if my gagging reflexes start, but that said, it won't stop me doing the Trials."
