EMMERDALE legend Deena Payne has admitted she asked bosses not to cast Tony Audenshaw as Bob Hope because she found him "creepy" in the audition.

The actress played village legend Viv Hope for 18 years on the ITV soap before she was axed in 2011. She told Soap on the Box podcast: "The truth being there were six people auditioning for Bob and the producer came up to me and said, ‘look did you have any feelings about any them?’ "And I said, ‘Look just not number six because he was really creepy’.
