The 'Emmerdale' actor is a self-confessed dab hand in the kitchen, but he also likes to try his hand at constructing pieces for his house, and as a result the star has set his sights on having his own workshop one day.

He said: "I'm a pretty good cook - I love food, and I like trying new recipes.

"I've cooked and baked from a young age.

"I really like woodwork as well, making my own furniture.

"I don't have the space right now, but I'd really like a workshop one day."

Dales fans also shouldn't be shocked if they see Aaron - who plays Ellis Chapman in the ITV soap - pop up on the credits of a project in the future, as he is a keen writer, too.

He said: "I've been focusing on my writing more recently, too.

"I always knew I wanted to be either an actor or a writer, and now I want to do both."

But on the screen, Aaron would love to land himself a role in a Bond film one day - even as Moneypenny, if the chance arose.

When asked what his dream role would be, he told Inside Soap magazine: "On stage it would be 'Macbeth'.

"I really like Shakespeare, and that's one of my favourites.

"And on screen, literally anyone in a Bond film.

"The man himself would be great, or the villain, Q, M, Moneypenny - just anyone.

"That's the only film franchise that I'm really into."
