But Darcy revealed a bit more about himself, viewers quickly became fans of the actor.

Lorraine congratulated the actor on his debut, who dubbed it "very surreal and strange".

Darcy told the presenter, who commented on his entrance to the show and what might happen next for him: "It's such a strong storyline to come into so you've got to be careful treading that.

Clearly enamoured with the actor's looks, fans began comparing him to household star names.

@JoviGirl_1980 tweeted: "Might start watching Emmerdale again"

The comparisons continued with @Bigguy8 commenting: "#DarcyGrey in #Emmerdale definitely has the look of a young #LeeSharpe
