Emmerdale stars pick new set locations as they reveal major issue with filming in the Dales

Emmerdale stars have shared secrets from the set as they open up on where they would love to see the long-running ITV soap be relocated to.

Taking to Instagram, Emmerdale’s official account posted a short behind the scene clip as they interviewed Lisa Riley (Mandy Dingle), Daisy Campbell (Amelia Spencer), Samantha Giles (Bernice Blackstock), Tony Audenshaw (Bob Hope), Ash Palmisciano (Matty Barton) and Kevin Mathurin (Charles Anderson.)

In the clip the soap stars were all asked the same question, 'if you could move Emmerdale to anywhere in the world, where would it be?'

And it seems they all had similar ideas in mind as they spoke about the one thing that makes filming in the Yorkshire Dales a nightmare - the weather!

Lisa Riley said to Daisy Campbell: "We say this a lot don't we?", Daisy responded: "Yeah, we always play this game on set", Lisa said: "Benidorm!"

While Samantha Giles said: "It's got to be somewhere hot hasn't it because it's so unbelievably cold and windy in the Emmerdale village."

Lisa chimed in with: "ITV 7.30pm Emmerdorm", Ash had other ideas: "The Caribbean!" to which Kevin laughed and agreed. Bob wasn't so sure though, he said: "I'm not sure about Emmerdale being in the Caribbean, it's a long way, it's a long commute."

Ash added: "Those wet days at the village, my word, they're hard aren't they?", Kevin responded: "Yeah, switch it to Emmerdale Bay, call it Emmerdale Bay."

The new behind the scenes snippets give the audience a chance to ask the cast any burning questions they might have about the soap. 'Answered by Emmerdale' is part of a collaboration with Confused.com.

Of course, it wasn't long before the comments section was flooded with suggestions from fans. One fan @joannestonehouse suggested: "South Africa- paddy the vet on safari!", another social media user @marieirenenoregren penned: "Sweden", while @kiwi_in_brisbane added: "New Zealand."

However, others agreed with Bob Hope star Tony Audenshaw that the Yorkshire-based soap should stay exactly where it is. @ourpinkyorkshirehome responded: "No place better than Yorkshire!!!" and @joewarrenplantangelx agreed: "Yorkshire Dales or Leeds."

Emmerdale airs at 7.30pm on weeknights on ITV1.
