Ayden Callaghan

"Miles is like a lost little boy with lots of problems to work though,” Callaghan told itv.com. “He’s bordering on being an alcoholic and when you have a drink problem it’s always there in the back of your mind, like a demon.”

On 17 May 2015, Callaghan and his fiancee announced they were expecting their first child. Their baby boy, Phoenix, was born on 25 August 2015, and they had their second child, a boy named Indiana, on 24 January 2018.

While in Hollyoaks, Callaghan appeared on the front cover of a charity edition of Gay Times.

Miles was written out of the soap in July 2008 without his character dying, allowing the possibility of a future return.

He played the part of Miles De Souza, a fictional character on the ITV soap opera Emmerdale, making his first appearance on 1 November 2007.
