There's no denying for me that 'Emmerdale' is an amazing place to work. I've got so much to be grateful for. Over the years it's given me a great sense of purpose and a real sense of belonging.
I've been acting since I was a kid and it started out as a hobby. I've been lucky enough to make that my professional career and I've earned a living out of it.
I'd love nothing more to play a strong leading male in a Marvel thing. I read they are about to make comic book hero Captain Britain and I thought that would be an amazing part to play.
I thought I had a pretty good American accent but I had a few sessions with a voice coach over there and she was picking up on a few things. Possibly because I've got such a strong Northern accent, I emphasise the wrong part of words so the idea is to work on my American accent.
Twenty years is a long time and it's been an incredible 20 years. I'm so grateful to 'Emmerdale' for what they have given me throughout that period.
The amazing thing with a soap is every day you're challenged, the amount of storylines we go through, the amount of emotions you get to play is really challenging.
I watch a lot of English films but one of my favourites is 'Gladiator.' It's epic - if it doesn't get you fired up, nothing will.
When I arrived at 'Emmerdale,' Clive was the one person I got really starstruck about. It was weird, I was there with my dad and he said, 'There's Jack Sugden.' He was lovely, very welcoming and absolutely massive.
I've been spoilt with 'Emmerdale' over the years. I've had a taste of high drama, action, explosive scenes, emotional scenes and the odd bit of comedy with Bernice.
I like the idea of doing a part which, as a straight guy, is really different to me. I'd just see doing a gay kiss, and a gay role, as something different. Plus I have plenty of gay mates, so I could probably practice with them.
It is a weird job where you can kiss someone at work then go back to your loved ones and it's all ok.
I have been pretty happy with how I look but if I have a hectic week with family or work life, that has got to be my priority and the gym takes a back seat. Then a couple of weeks turn into a couple of months and before you know it you feel like you've got the 'dad bod.'
I have plans to send my little daughter and son into dancing because I'd love for them to enjoy it too.
I am a bit of a domestic goddess to be honest. I am a clean freak so I love doing the hoovering and the cleaning.
As for cooking, I like making lasagne and spaghetti Bolognese, I have perfected my porridge, and I like making Sunday roasts.
Those who know me, after a few beers, I love music and I love to dance, but that doesn't mean I'll be any good!
Most of my saucy comments are from gay guys. Some of them are pretty explicit in the things they say, especially on Twitter.
If someone stops me in the street, they might not want to say something to my face - maybe something about 'Emmerdale' or something personal towards me, good or bad. But on Twitter they are hiding behind their keyboard.
As an actor I can bring the story, the narrative in each performance. If I can't do that, then... might as well give up as an actor, hadn't I?
I'm not easily offended so whether it be a compliment or a derogatory comment, it really doesn't bother me.
My experience of dancing is exclusively at weddings or parties with alcohol involved and in the dark.
I've had women telling me I'm bloody gorgeous but I haven't had any kinky pictures. Everything's been quite tame - from the women!
I've got a three-year-old daughter. To picture her being a dancer, I'd absolutely love that. I'm in absolute awe of what they do. Just seeing them work, they're incredible.
Maybe in another life I would have liked to have been a dancer. But I was a cheeky chappy who wanted to be an actor.
I do remember a time and I can quite easily imagine a time without - looking to a future without 'Emmerdale.'
I'm very proud of some of the stories I've been given thanks to the team at 'Emmerdale,' they've been great over the years so hopefully that will continue.
I'm very fortunate now in that I have my first love, which is drama and acting, for a living and I'm also managing to go racing as well.
The 'Strictly' experience is really like no other - the training and work that goes into it is immense.
