"It seems longer than 10 years with everything you have packed in with all the different stories. Here's to many more years. Fantastic acting and great chemistry with your co stars. Congrats Danny," one wrote.

"Best actor in I also hope your there for another 10 years  I've watched since I was a kid and 30 years later I'm still loving it. Keep as the show wouldn't be the same without this beaut," another said.

"Congrats on 10 years of being on emmerdale you legend!!  ," a third wrote.

Clearly seeing the opportunity to charm his bosses, Danny himself took to Twitter to ask his bosses for a cheeky 'pay rise' as he thanked fans for their well-wishes.

'And maybe a cheeky pay rise? What? No? Ok. Guys? You there? What? Oh FFS..' he captioned a clip from a fan page.

Haha.

Other fans called for the show's writer's to give Danny a 'happy storyline', following his most recent scenes, which have seen him having to get over the heartbreak of Robert's baby son Seb moving away to Liverpool with his birth mum Rebecca.

This week, Robert was left feeling uncomfortable  as an emotional Aaron suggested they start looking into the idea of expanding their family with surrogacy just days after their son's departure.
