Skinner said: "I've watched the show since the days of Amos Brearley and Mr. Wilkes so, even though I don't actually appear on screen, it's really exciting to be a tiny part of the Emmerdale legend"
Series Producer Kath Beedles commented: “We had heard that Frank was a fan of the show and were delighted that he was available to record this part.’’
Skinner will be heard in four episodes from Wednesday 31st August.
