Emmerdale actor Mark Charnock has admitted being nervous about his character's moving stroke storyline.
The 53-year-old, who plays Marlon Dingle, said taking on the part of a stroke survivor and portraying the devastating impact it had on him and his loved ones was the most challenging story he has done in over two decades. Mark, who has been nominated for a National Television Award, made the admission on Good Morning Britain today, August 23.
He told entertainment editor Richard Arnold: "I was very nervous about it when they announced the story. I was nervous because it happens to so many people, there is a stroke every five minutes in the UK.
