Former Emmerdale favourite Mike Parr has received an offer to start a porn career during lockdown.

The actor has had a dry spell of acting gigs due to the numerous lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions throughout the last year.

Mike left his role of Ross Barton from the ITV soap back in 2018 alongside Emily Head’s character Rebecca White.

At the time, the 34-year-old actor, had his eyes on Hollywood stardom, Leeds Live reports. But now, he may have to bare all for a shining role on-screen.
