Nick Miles: 'Fans call Jimmy an idiot'

Emmerdale star Nick Miles has revealed that he is thrilled over the response to his ongoing amnesia storyline.

The actor's character Jimmy King recently made the terrible decision to dump wife Nicola in favour of his scheming ex-fiancée Kelly Windsor, who exploited his memory loss in order to win him back.

Although Jimmy has since seen Kelly's true colours, the village bitch will continue to cause problems for him and Nicola until she makes her departure next week.

Speaking to Inside Soap about Jimmy's current plot, Miles commented: "It's fantastic to be involved in a storyline that has caught the audience's imagination so much. When I was on Loose Women, they showed the scene where Jimmy chose to be with Kelly, and I got boos like you wouldn't believe!

"People in the street are always shouting at me that Jimmy is an idiot and should leave Kelly alone. They say, 'Come here, I'll smack you over the head - that'll bring your memory back!'"

Miles also hinted at a battle of wills ahead as Nicola will soon become determined to get a divorce from Jimmy, while he still hopes to win her back.

He said: "Nicola's a tough cookie. Poor Jimmy is beside himself with regret and desperate to get her back. 'Abject begging' is the best way to describe his tactics. But things aren't over yet, because Jimmy is as tenacious as Nicola is tough. That's one of Jimmy's greatest qualities - if he's got a bone, he doesn't give it up."
