Emmerdale star James Moore has backed his co-star Louisa Clein in hitting out at fans selling cast cards online.
James quoted Louisa’s tweet and told his fans: “Don’t buy my signed photos on eBay.
“There shouldn’t be any on there because I personalise them all but I return and sign all the post I get so please just write to me.”

Fans were quick to thank him for pointing this out.
“What a decent guy you are,” wrote one.
Another added: “The more I read from you, the more I respect you.”
“Thanks awfully for letting us know, I was going to buy one thinking it was from your agent,” added another.
Louisa, who plays Maya Stepney, started the crackdown by urging her fans not to buy hers online – that was selling for a staggering £26.
After posting a screenshot of the sale to her Instagram, she wrote: “You can get this for free if you write to Emmerdale. Please don’t pay £26 on eBay!
“I’ll happily sign pics for people but for them to be sold on to make money….. well that’s just rude!!!! #emmerdale.”

Fans were pretty shocked (mostly at the price!) and quick to congratulate the actress on calling out the practice.
“Well said @louisaclein too many people willing to make a quick buck. Much respect to you for publicising the scam,” wrote one.
Another added: “Well said about time someone stood up and said something… People making money from someone else.”
“Shocking! The things some people will do for money,” said a third.
Former co-star Mike Parr, who played Ross Barton until last year, also made a cheeky comment, pretending to be the seller:
“Listen I’m out of a job. Let me make my money.”
On-screen, Maya is pretty much one of the most hated women in soap as she grooms 15-year-old Jacob Gallagher.
Friday night’s outing saw him finally cut her out of his life after sending her a topless picture almost got them caught.

As Jacob’s guilt over betraying his stepdad, David, who’s Maya’s boyfriend, got the better of him, he was disappointed when she refused to tell everyone about her relationship with Jacob.
Feeling like he had no choice, Jacob ended things with Maya, but she’s not about to let him spin out of her web that easily…
