Emmerdale's Dominic Brunt forced to call in sick for the first time in 25 years

Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt has been forced to call in sick to the ITV soap for the first time in 25 years.

The Paddy Dingle actor has been part of the show for a quarter of a century and has never called in sick to work. But that changed this week when he got covid, meaning he wasn't able to go on set.

Naturally frustrated at never missing a day of work in his Emmerdale career, he shared his annoyance to Twitter. Assuring fans he was being careful, he mentioned the positive test result has left him feeling less than amused.
