Country-pop singer Twinnie-Lee Moore is swapping Nashville for the Yorkshire village as she joins the cast of Emmerdale.
The singer, 37, who previously starred in Hollyoaks, is taking on an exciting new character and will first appear on screen on Friday, October 11.
Twinnie gushed she has had ‘so much fun’ on set as she transformed into the ambitious and ruthless boxing promoter Jade.
With Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) already drawn into the dark world of unlicensed boxing, Jade’s arrival will put pressure on him to continue this dangerous trade.
But Jade has an agenda and Billy’s safety is not on it. He’s tempted by Jade’s offer and the financial promises that come with it, but he’s also aware of the dangerous consequences it may bring.

Speaking about her new role, Twinnie said: ‘My life has been a bit crazy recently juggling music and acting with lots of back and forth between Nashville and Yorkshire but I’ve been loving it!!
‘I’ve loved being back on screen, especially as the show is shot in Yorkshire, being able to be home with family and go to work on such an iconic show has been nothing short of amazing!
