Nick Miles has publicly confessed he has "a ton of lines to learn" for tomorrow (28.11.19) to force himself to do the work.
The ‘Emmerdale’ actor admits he has been procrastinating on Twitter today (27.11.19), so he hatched a plan to let his followers know that he has plenty to be getting on with in a bit to make himself learn his scripts, and joked if he doesn’t he may be on the receiving end of a "punch in the face" from his co-stars.
He wrote on Twitter: "Anyone wondering why I’m spending so much time here today? It’s because I have a ton of lines to learn for tomorrow. I’m confessing here so that I now have to do the work to avoid a righteous punch in the face from narked colleagues in the morning. Let’s hope it works. (sic)"
This comes after Nick – who has portrayed hapless villager Jimmy King on the ITV soap since 2004 – admitted he still gets nervous about shooting ‘Emmerdale’ scenes, despite being on the programme for years.
Last year, he wrote on Twitter: "First day back at #Emmerdale today after my hols. It’s a five line scene on location in which I have one line. After fourteen years playing Jimmy King I still have butterflies. #lovemyjob (sic)"
As well as having butterflies, Nick previously admitted he has developed a love of other flying objects, birds, since he first joined the Leeds-based soap.
He said: "We’re usually standing around on set going, ‘This isn’t bad, is it?’ While shivering and helping to keep each other warm.
"But since I’ve been here I’ve developed a love of birds and raptors, just from watching the red kites above our village."
