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.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
