‘Emmerdale’ star Danny Miller has shaved his head in lockdown to raise money for his charity Once Upon a Smile.
The 29-year-old actor – who plays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap – has followed in the footsteps of his co-stars Matthew Wolfenden and Alexander Lincoln by shearing off all his locks whilst at home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Danny unveiled his new look on Twitter and Instagram in a black and white video of himself accompanied by Sinead O’Connor’s ‘Nothing Compares to You’, which had a famous video of Sinead sporting cropped hair as she cried.
Danny – who is not shooting ‘Emmerdale’ at the moment because production has been shutdown – mimicked the Irish singer by miming the lyrics and shedding a few tears before breaking into a chuckle.
He captioned the Instagram clip: "You want a job doing. Thanks to your generous donations for this… #allforcharity #lockdownchop"
Danny originally set a fundraising target of £500, but the non-profit organisation has now confirmed that he has raised double that amount and the donations are still coming in.
A post made on the official Once Upon a Smile Twitter account read: "An INCREDIBLE £1,000 has been raised for @DannyBMiller head shave. "This is going to allow us to continue to send ‘Essential Food Hampers’ to our families and because of your generosity we’ve already contacted many families for a delivery to them this week. THANK YOU."
Once Upon a Smile was founded in 2011 by Dannny and Daniel Jillings to provide emotional and practical support to bereaved families after it became apparent that there was a lack of support for families after the death of a loved one.
