Joe Mangel to walk into the Woolpack
Sunday, 31st August 2008.
Aussie soap star Mark Little is set to star in an episode of Emmerdale.
The actor - who is famous for playing bumbling yokel Joe Mangel in Neighbours - is reportedly playing a suave businessman called Jonty in an hour-long edition of the Yorkshire soap.
Jonty is a sharp-suited executive who comes into the village to sweep Louise (Emily Symons) off her feet.
Mark told The Sun: "I'm a big fan of Emmerdale and I'm looking forward to appearing in such an established show.
"My character is a true Aussie with some great lines.
"It's going to be a lot of fun."
His appearance was confirmed by Anita Turner, Emmerdale series producer, who said: "We're delighted that Mark was available to make this appearance.
"The path to true love has been anything but smooth for Louise and Jamie.
"Mark will bring some great comedy to this heartfelt episode."
The episode will air in October.
