Ogbourne confused by "explicit" letters

Emmerdale star Lyndon Ogbourne has revealed his shock at receiving "explicit" love letters from viewers.

The actor who appears in the ITV soap as Nathan Wylde admitted that he was confused by the attention he received in his role as the devious bad boy.

"It's weird," he told the Mirror.

"Women write in to me saying, 'You're the most horrific person I've ever seen in a soap and you're horrible and my mum hates you - but I wonder whether you're any good in bed.'

"Another woman wrote a letter saying how disgusted she was by Nathan and then went on to be quite explicit about her wanting him to take her to bed. There are some corrupt people out there."

Ogbourne recently admitted that he enjoys the abuse he receives as Nathan, who is trying to frame his half-brother Ryan Lamb (James Sutton) for their father's murder.

He added: "Obviously a lot of women really do like a bad boy, but personally I find it hard to take in the idea of being a heart-throb.

"Nathan is doing horrific stuff - it's difficult to understand that people find him fit."
