'Emmerdale' star Matthew Wolfenden has said that getting a role in the soap changed his life.
The actor, who plays David Metcalfe in the show, told the Press Association: "When I first started, I sat down with John Middleton, who plays Ashley. He said, 'When does your character first appear? Are you prepared for your life to change?' I always remember him saying that."
"It changes your life and your friends and families' lives as well. You can't go out without people wanting your picture on their camera phone."
"In the supermarket you constantly get people asking if you're 'that bloke off 'Emmerdale'," he said.
"You're on a soap and you're getting between six and eight million people watching a night. But you forget how many people watch it. I went to Las Vegas on holiday and had English people coming up for autographs."
