Emmerdale actor James Hooton has said that he is planning to pitch a video game show to television studios.

The star, who plays Sam Dingle in the ITV1 soap, recently attended the Eurogamer Expo in order to gain more connections with speakers at the event.

"I'm trying to get a games programme off the ground at the moment," he told Eurogamer.

"I've meetings lined up with some of the big companies to try and get some sponsorship and backing for it."

Hooton added that he is a big fan of Capcom and Street Fighter IV. He was also joined by Alex Carter, who portrays Emmerdale postman Jamie Hope, at the expo in Leeds.
