Emmerdale star Danny Miller appears to have deleted his social media accounts after being on the receiving end of some vile comments on his physical appearance.

The actor, who has recently returned to the Dales to play Aaron Dingle, was criticised by a viewer who branded him "fat" and "chubby" on X, formerly known as Twitter. Before deleting his account, Miller decided to reply to the fat-shaming comments, letting the X/Twitter user know he was "unbothered".

"Say what you want about Aaron. He's fictional, I play what I'm told to play. But please don't think commenting about 'Danny' being 'fat' or 'chubby' will EVER bother me," the soap star wrote.

"I'm sat eating a greasy kebab AND a pizza, laughing at you whilst gulping a FULL FAT COKE," he continued, adding a laughing face emoji.

While Miller seems to have deactivated his X/Twitter account, his Instagram profile is still active.

The actor first started playing Aaron on Emmerdale in 2011, leaving the following year then returning to the soap in 2014.

Earlier this year, Miller was revealed to be the character held captive by Cain Dingle and Caleb Miligan at Wylie's Farm in a surprise twist, confirming his return to the soap in a regular capacity.

In recent scenes, Aaron, who's devastated about the loss of his sister Liv, has been lashing out at other Emmerdale residents, including his mum Chas and his brother-in-law Vinny. In last night's (December 5) episode, the character victim-blamed Nicky and Suni after they were assaulted in a homophobic hate crime.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
