Emmerdale icon says he considers himself 'retired' after quitting the soap but would 'love to do one last really nice part'


An Emmerdale icon admitted he considers himself 'retired' after quitting the soap in 2020.

English acting legend Duncan Preston is well-known for playing Doug Potts in the ITV series from 2007 to 2011 and again reprising the role from 2014 to 2020 (pictured in 2015) 'I sold the Highgate flat for a good profit and bought a place twice as big for half the price coming back up to Yorkshire in 2015 after Susie [Penhaligon] and I split up, and that's the house I have now,' Duncan added. It comes amid reports the ITV soap is in trouble due to an alleged cash crisis and a revolt from the cast over poor working conditions and low salaries.
