Emmerdale favourite Mark Charnock has spoken out over an "exhausting" problem that comes with the job.
Mark, who has played Marlon Dingle in the ITV soap since 1996, took to social media to ask fans for help. The 54-year-old shared a picture of an Instagram profile which appears to have used his name and photograph.
More than 3,700 people have already followed the private account but Mark has warned it is fake. Sharing the screenshot on his own profile, which has more than 51,000 followers, the actor said he did not understand why someone would pretend to be him.
