In an interview with Digital Spy, Miller said of moving on to pastures new: “It’s a massive part of my life and it’s taught me loyalty. I’ve wanted to spread my wings for a while and a show like [I’m A Celebrity] gives me the opportunity to see what else happens after.
“The show is a fantastic money earner, I’m not going to lie, so it gives me the opportunity to be off for a year. So if nothing happens I’ll be comfortable and with my family. If new jobs come up, then we’ll see.”
Former Attitude cover star Miller joined Emmerdale in 2008.
