Emmerdale star Danny Miller marked Christmas with a special photo showing three generations of his family
Emmerdale legend Danny Miller has delighted fans after sharing a photo alongside his lookalike father, Vince.
Danny, 34, first graced the ITV soap as Aaron Dingle in 2008, but after a five-year stint, he left the soap to pursue other opportunities, including a regular role in the crime drama Scott and Bailey.
However, in 2014, he made the decision to return to Emmerdale, only to take another break seven years later. During this time, he joined the line-up on I’m A Celebrity and was crowned the winner.
In 2023, it was confirmed that Danny would reprise his role as Aaron once again. Away from the dramatic scenes of the Yorkshire Dales, actor Danny Miller enjoys a more tranquil family life.
In the celebrity circuit, Danny isn’t the only one grabbing headlines, as he comes from a lineage of stardom with his dad, Vince Miller, hailed as an entertainment titan.
Warmly referred to as the ‘king of compere’, Vince, who is also a comedian and singer, has carved his niche as the face of the VIP scene at Manchester United, interestingly enough, through Danny’s unwavering support for arch-rivals Liverpool FC.
At 91, Vince can look back on a dazzling showbiz stint that lasted 65 years, during which he mingled with luminaries like Johnny Mathis and Shirley Bassey and even gave a heartfelt eulogy at comedian Bernard Manning’s funeral.

A defining juncture came when Vince decided to hang up his microphone. Speaking to the Manchester Evening News at 82, Vince declared: “I have no regrets about it. The time is now to retire while you’re on top. You don’t want people saying ‘not him again’.”
Taking to Instagram, dad-of-three Danny shared a photo alongside his dad Vince as they celebrated Christmas as a family.
In one photo, Danny can be seen with his arm around Vince as they sit in front of a Christmas tree. In another sweet snap, Danny poses alongside two of his children and his dad, all striking a smile for the camera.
Danny sweetly captioned the post: “Christmas complete. Three generations of The Miller boys.”
Fans and friends of the soap star have flooded the comments section with their well-wishes, with Emmerdale’s Billy Fletcher star Jay Kontzle writing: “Beautiful mate, merry Christmas.”
A second person wrote: “Aww, precious time, lovely to see your dad smiling and happy”, while a third chimed in: “Heart melting.”
“This is so precious, you look so much like your dad Danny”, pointed out one fan as another echoed: “Danny you have the same smile as your Dad. You can see the pride in his face, and you’re still his little boy.”
