Adam Thomas: 'Emmerdale affair gets messy'

Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has admitted that his character's affair with Ella Macey will get "very messy" when it is discovered by his mother Moira.

Speaking to New magazine, Thomas confessed that he is enjoying his current plot, which sees Adam Barton cheat on his girlfriend Mia with her mother, played by Corrinne Wicks.

"I'm having a ball," he said. "It's nice to have a good storyline to get your teeth into. When I got the script, I was like, 'Wow!'. I was really excited."

On kissing his co-star, he continued: "You dread it but, when it comes down to it, it's not as bad as you think. You just get on with it. It¹s not just kissing scenes, either. We have sex over a desk! I've just been shooting scenes where Moira finds out and I think it's going to get very messy."

Explaining the plot development, he added: "Yes, she sees us at it and everything. She catches us doing it in the car!"

Pressed to reveal if he personally had ever been caught in a compromising position, Thomas hesitantly confessed: "Erm, not yet. I remember my brother walking in on me once when I was younger, but I don't really want to go into that!"

While he continues to enjoy his storylines, the actor insisted that he is "taking every day as it comes" on the ITV1 soap and "enjoying it all for the time being".

"If they keep me on, they keep me on, if they don't, then they don't," he said. "Unfortunately, it doesn't last forever, this soap game."
