He posted: “Can’t remember the last time I picked up a script… Time to get back.”

Fans immediately thought he was referring to his name-making role in Emmerdale as farmer Adam.

Viewers last saw Adam on the soap in January 2018 when he went on the run for a murder actually committed by his mum Moira Barton.

He fled abroad and in the meantime it has been revealed he has moved on and is in a new relationship.

His ex-wife Victoria has also moved on despite the trauma of being raped by Lee Posner.

She found love with Lee’s brother Luke and the pair have been happy, although recently she discovered he had lied to her about his sexuality.

Viewers know Luke was in a relationship with a man prior to coming to the village – but he has lied to Victoria and insisted it was just a one night stand.

With the truth set to emerge, fans want Adam back to reunite with Victoria.
