Taking to social media today, Ned shared a selection of hunky headshots from a new photoshoot.

In the caption, Ned penned: “@dancollinsphoto Thanks for the snaps. I promise I’m happier with them than I look in the photos. X.”

In one snap, Ned, 30, could be seen donning some khaki green trousers and a black vest top, with him showing off his muscly arms in the process.

The next saw him rocking a white t-shirt with his muscles prominently on display.

In the third photo, Ned smouldered while rocking a coat, with the fourth a close up of his face, and the fifth of him sitting in a shirt and trousers.

Many fans were stunned by his sizzling snaps, but several others were highly concerned.

One worried fan wrote: “Always makes me nervous when you see new snaps… usually means you’re leaving please no!!!”

With someone replying: “Yeah I thought the same.”

While another worryingly posted: “oh no – new headshots etc means you’re leaving Emmerdale.”

A fourth person then said: “Please don’t leave Emmerdale, love the picture your so hot.”

Meanwhile, other fans were quick to say how they think he might be the next James Bond.

“Next James Bond surely,” said one.

“Definitely James Bond,” added another.

While a third said: “Definitely Bond!!!!”

A fourth person then wrote: “Hi Ned I think your such an interesting actor.. hope some good scripts/ films come along, hope you’ve a good agent.. I think you’ve big potential..”

While someone else swooned: “Oh my, literally the most handsome man on earth.”

This comes after Ned’s character of Joe returned to the village after briefly fleeing for a new life in Dubai.

Joe headed to Dubai after his sick organ transplant plot.

The millionaire schemer is still recovering after orchestrating an organ theft from his own uncle Caleb Dingle, who recently found out that he had his kidney taken from him and given to Joe against his will.
