Emmerdale newcomer Liam Fox has teased details of his character Dan's upcoming storylines.

Fox's alter ego arrived in the village in November in an attempt to salvage his marriage to Ali Spencer, who left him for another woman.

The 42-year-old actor revealed that Dan will be given lighter storylines over the coming weeks.

Of Dan's womanising instincts, Fox told Inside Soap: "Dan's quite cocky when it comes to women, so even though Chas is a bit out of his league, that wouldn't stop him trying.

"She definitely catches his eye - though I think he'd be interested in any woman with a pulse, to be honest! The way Dan chats up the fairer sex is unbelievable."

Fox also said that he would be happy with any future storyline, claiming that Emmerdale has been his "best job ever".

"I'd like to see Dan have lots of fun - he's quite a funny character," the actor added. "Maybe he could get into trouble, become involved in some dodgy scams?"

Fox is married to Hollyoaks cast member Nicole Barber-Lane (Myra McQueen).
