The former 'Hollyoaks' actor believes the ITV show is the "best soap" around at the moment, and he correctly guessed they would win the Serial Drama accolade at last night's (28.01.20) NTAs.

He said: "I bloody said it!!! Everytime man! I love that I'm so right about how real and brilliant @emmerdale is! It's the best soap on TV and I would be honoured and blessed if I ever had a chance to appear on it one day! Massive congratulations! (sic)"

In the meantime, Paul has some other work to do after he landed a role in a new play, gritty crime thriller 'Time', alongside comedian Dapper Laughs - whose real name is Daniel O'Reilly - 'Inbetweeners' actor David Schaal, and Michael Head, who worked alongside Paul on his previous project 'Worth a Flutter'.

Playwright Michael, who penned the script, is delighted to be teaming up with Paul again.

He said: "Paul and I have been very close mates for a long time and it is always great to have a chance to work alongside talented people who you get on with.

"Plus, to be joined by Daniel and David is a real honour and the fact the play is based on my family and stories that are real and close to my heart make it even more special."

Dan added: "I am good mates with Paul and he is a top bloke and great actor, so I am pleased to be able to get the chance to work with him."

'Time' tells the story of four armed robbers who meet after a job goes tragically wrong, and the show will run at London's Tristan Bates Theatre for one-week only from February 10th-15th 2020.
