A country star has returned to her Yorkshire roots as she joins the Emmerdale cast for a guest appearance.
Singer Twinnie-Lee Moore, who previously appeared in Hollyoaks as Porsche McQueen from 2014 to 2015, will make her first appearance on the ITV soap on Friday (October 11) as ambitious and ruthless boxing promoter Jade.
Jade’s arrival in the village will put pressure on Billy Fletcher, played by Jay Kontzle, to become drawn further into the world of unlicensed boxing, ITV said.
Billy will be tempted by her offer and the financial promises that come with it but he will also be aware of the dangerous consequences it could bring.
Twinnie-Lee Moore has “loved” returning to TV
On her arrival to the show, which is filmed in Yorkshire, Moore 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.
“The whole team has been so welcoming and really supportive.
“My character is so much fun to play and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to her.”

Her stage credits include Chicago, Flashdance The Musical and Rock Of Ages (all on the West End).
Moore has also released music including her studio album Hollywood Gypsy in 2020.
