Emmerdale star Danny Miller has commented on his image transformation in a post, sharing that he now feels “the best Danny” he could be. The soap star, knowing for playing Aaron Dingle in the Yorkshire-set soap, has taken to Facebook to share an update after first opening up on his fitness journey earlier this year.
In a post shared to the social media platform, the actor published a side-by-side of two different selfies, admitting feeling “rundown and tired” in the one on the left.
“It’s not until you see old pictures that you realise how much you’ve changed,” he wrote in the post.

“Looking at the photo on the left, I remember feeling rundown, tired and constantly putting myself at the bottom of the priority list.
“Like a lot of parents, I was so busy trying to be everything for everyone else that I forgot to look after myself.
“To be the best husband I can be. To be the best dad I can be. I first needed to be the best Danny I could be.
“The photo on the right isn’t about being perfect. It’s about feeling healthier, happier and having more energy for the people who matter most.
“Still a work in progress, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”

Miller has previously opened up on his health and fitness journey, celebrating a milestone in May. At the time, the star uploaded an Instagram video celebrating 365 days of being sober, explaining why he did it and what it feels like to no longer drink alcohol.
“Hi, I’m Danny, I’m 35 and today marks one year of sobriety,” he said.
“One year since I last had a drink. One year of reinventing myself for my family. Trying to better myself for my wife, for my family.”
“It’s an emotional day for me because I never, ever in a million years believe this was achievable, genuinely.
“I knew I had an issue with it, I fell down a rabbit hole. Steph has been an absolute rock throughout it, despite me itching for a drink every now and then.”
Miller explained he made the decision to show his children the “best version” of himself, rather than not being present due to his hangovers.
The actor has been married to Steph Miller since 2022 and they share three kids together.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
