ITV Emmerdale star shares hidden talent as they join forces with EastEnders legend
Soap fans will be left delighted to learn that two legendary stars have teamed up to work together on a new touring production later this year
Emmerdale and EastEnders fans will be delighted to learn that two legendary characters have teamed up for a new project.
Appearing on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain, Liam Fox and Charlie Brooks spoke about the upcoming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tour, which starts on 30 April.
Former Emmerdale Dan Spencer star, Liam, 53, will be playing Grandpa Potts while former EastEnders Janine Butcher actress Charlie, 42, will be playing The Childcatcher. Talking to hosts Ed Balls and Kate Garraway the latter asked Liam: “Are you a singer?”
To which the actor replied: “I’m a singer now! You know what, I feel so lucky to come on this show and get t do these amazing songs, play such an iconic character… it’s like gold dust really.” While co-star, Charlie, was quick to praise his singing skills, adding: “Oh, you’re brilliant!”

It comes as Liam’s emotional Emmerdale exit aired over the summer, where his character Dan was sentenced to eight years in prison after a punch turned deadly. Last year, Dan punched his daughter Amelia’s online stalker, Lloyd, which resulted in the latter being left in a coma in a hospital with a serious head injury.
Dan later pleaded guilty to the charges against him without realising Lloyd had been pronounced dead in hospital. Later, Dan arrived in court where he faced a serious prison sentence for manslaughter and in a huge twist he was delivered an eight-year sentence of imprisonment. The episode ended with Dan being led to his prison cell.
Soap watchers were left sad to see Dan actor Liam leave the hit ITV soap after 12 years with the star saying: “Thank you @itv @itvxofficial @emmerdale for 12 years of incredible memories… I’ll miss you all, but for now at least it’s time for new adventures…
“@daisycampbellofficial @kelli.hollis @alicyaeyo @lukeroskell @bhaskerpatel @fionawade1 @rebeccasarker @laura_norts @natalieannjamieson @j_downham Et Al… love you all! But I need this break, I need to face the fear! Who knows what the future holds!!!!” with a series of heart emojis.
Meanwhile, Charlie bowed out of EastEnders back in 2022 as her character Janine was arrested by the police for perverting the course of justice after framing Linda Carter for a car accident. During the explosive festive episodes, Mick Carter appeared to be “killed off” as he bowed out of the soap after nine years.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
