Emmerdale legend Dominic Brunt on the funniest thing fans say to him

Emmerdale legend Dominic Brunt has opened up on the funniest thing fans of the soap say to him.

Dominic Brunt, 52, who has been Paddy Dingle in Emmerdale for decades was talking as part of the documentary Emmerdale - 50 Unforgettable Years. In one segment, the programme touched upon some of the biggest weddings and characters who have been prolific with marriages.

Paddy is certainly a contender having been married many times. The character has been married to Mandy Dingle, Emily Dingle, Rhona Goskirk and Chas Dingle. Joking in self-deprecating fashion, Dominic said: “I get it on Twitter all the time 'how come Paddy has been married fives times and I'm on my own?'."

During the programme, Paddy actor Dominic Brunt and Marlon Dingle star Mark Charnock talked about the pair's famous double act. Mark declared Paddy the 'love of Marlon's life'.

Elsewhere, Dominic has spoken of how many Emmerdale stars don't think long-term and often fear for the future. “If I was to go tomorrow though, I wouldn’t complain because I’ve had 25 amazing years – but long may it continue,” Dominic said. “I absolutely love that job to pieces. I can’t explain to you what it means to me.”

We’ve seen Paddy involved in his fair share of major storylines - including lots of ups and downs in love. He’s made a host of fans from Emmerdale’s millions of viewers.

“I saw a picture the other day for the 25th anniversary and I’m in the picture, and I just think ‘oh my god, 25 years ago?’ It feels like seven,” Dominic explained. “Your life just flashes along so quickly, but I’ve been so lucky."
