Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt has revealed that he receives X-rated fan mail - from the show's older viewers.
The actor, who plays cheating Paddy Kirk on the ITV soap, admitted that he gets "sex letters" from women who have taken a shine to his character.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "These days you're more likely to get comments on Twitter but I get a lot of rude letters, too.
"They're probably similar to the kind Alan Titchmarsh gets - Paddy is very safe and kind so they think, 'I know, I'll project my sexual fantasies on to him'.
"I'd get sex letters from 60-year-olds, saying, 'I've had rumblings I've not had for 30 years' and telling me what they want to do to me. It's hilarious."
Paddy embarked on an affair with married schoolteacher Tess Harris last year, but a shocking twist last week saw her killed off in a hit-and-run.
Tonight's episodes will see Paddy's marriage fall apart when the penny finally drops for his devastated wife Rhona.
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.
