"Twenty years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with MND and subsequently died from it so this is a subject I have lived through in my own life as have the rest of my family," Dan, who is an MND ambassador, told the Manchester Evening News and other press.
He added: "I'm not going to lie, my legs went a little bit weak because I suppose it just brings back memories of that time. And I did wonder if this could potentially be quite triggering in a lot of ways... Billy's knowledge of MND is a lot different to my knowledge buy I’m hoping I might be able to bring some of my personal experience into the playing of this storyline, having been somebody who did in real life help to care for somebody with MND.
