Emmerdale fans issue demand as Cain Dingle shows off doll version of himself

Emmerdale fans are making similar demands after the soap teased a new "Cain Dingle doll" on its social media pages.

The soap turns 50 this week, making it the second oldest drama on UK television (with Coronation Street having run the longest). Show bosses have revealed special birthday episodes will centre around a devastating storm which will forever transform the fictional village.

Producer Kate Brooks told the ECHO : "It will leave a massive trail of destruction in its wake and some of our best loved villagers will be in peril. It's safe to say that the village won't be the same ever again because the impact this storm will have is massive."

A trailer that aired on September 29 shows a model Emmerdale village, complete with its own set of characters in doll form.

On Tuesday, posts from the soap's official Instagram and Twitter accounts featured Cain Dingle star Jeff Hordley holding the doll version of Cain. Captioning the snap, Emmerdale said: "Jeff meets... well, Jeff!

"Have you seen our conceptual, 50th birthday trailer yet?"

Fans were loving the photo, with many making the same request in the comments section. Victoria Bain-Docherty said: "Where can you buy one?.... asking for a friend".

Helen Robertshaw said: "Are these on sale????", while Charlotte said: "This has been added to my Xmas list thanks!". Caz Bowling said: "Wow! Can I have one please?"

Emmerdale will air at the earlier time of 7pm today (Tuesday) due to an ITV schedule change
