Emmerdale star Danny Miller seemingly dropped a huge Corriedale spoiler during a live broadcast - and instantly regretted it.

Viewers are eagerly awaiting the explosive episode, bringing Coronation Street and Emmerdale together for one night only.

Danny, 34, plays Aaron Dingle and is among the stars confirmed to appear in the crossover event.

With speculation rife as to who will die, the fan favourite hinted Aaron makes it out of Corriedale alive.

Speaking in an interview with Talksport, Danny shared: 'Yeah (my contract is) until next year, but anything can happen.'

After clocking what he had said, the star added in panicked tones: 'Yeah, I just suddenly realised I probably shouldn’t have said that.

'So I don’t really know what to do from here!'

Earlier this week, ITV released a pulse-racing teaser hinting at imminent danger for characters from both soaps.

The 30-second trailer showed characters from both soaps involved in the aftermath of a frightening car pile-up. 

Following the multi vehicle smash, Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) takes control of the situation as a frantic Carla Connor (Alison King) tries to calm someone down.

Emmerdale's paramedic Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) tends to injured Corrie favourites David (Jack P Shepherd) and Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) at the side of the road.

Another tidbit showed Aaron's ex-husband Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) desperately looks for him in the dark.

There are two pregnant women involved in the dramatic scenes; namely Shona Platt and Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).

Furthermore, Charity can be seen attempting to calm down a screaming Shona while both are in Hotten General Hospital.

As the trailer concludes, Kevin (Michael Le Vell) and Abi (Sally Carman-Duttine) Webster search for Debbie (Sue Devaney) at the crash site.

Viewers still have a little longer to wait for Corriedale - as the episode will be airing on January 5 at 8pm.

Regular half hour episodes of each soap will be shown earlier, Emmerdale 7pm and Coronation Street 7.30pm - and these will drop on ITVX at 7am that morning.

This special episode is a celebration of the soap genre and will launch ITV’s new ‘soap power hour’ scheduling pattern for Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

The new sneak peek came following fans first being treated to an explosive Corriedale trailer earlier this month.

At the time Corriedale was first announced, ITV said: 'The distinctive worlds of Emmerdale and Coronation Street will merge for one night only in a ‘mash-up’ of our two favourite communities.

'The producers, scriptwriters and production teams have conceived an ingenious way of linking the two universes, but with characters then returning to the soaps they are renowned for inhabiting in Manchester and Yorkshire.

'The episode will be self-contained, but the consequences of the high-stakes drama will have repercussions for both communities and see them linked forever as familiar faces depart and exciting new characters arrive into both soaps.'

Iain MacLeod, ITV Executive Producer for Continuing Drama, said at the time: "It’s beyond exciting that filming is underway on Corriedale.

'There is a massive buzz around both the Leeds and Manchester sites, and the images coming out of the shoot are utterly spectacular.

'And that’s before we’ve even got to all the brilliant transpennine interactions between characters from the different shows!

'As a soap fan myself, I think my head is going to explode when the episode airs next year.

'It will be mind-blowing, historical and unmissable.'
