Emmerdale has given comedy legend Keith Harris' daughter, Kitty, her acting debut.
Kitty, whose dad was an iconic TV ventriloquist, has already filmed her part in the long running ITV soap and will appear in one episode. The 23-year-old, who wishes to launch a career as an actor, is hoping that her first TV role will lead to other opportunities as she awaits her big break.
An insider told The Sun: “Kitty is very talented and is just waiting for her big break on TV. She has got a very small part on the soap and has really impressed everyone.

"She recently worked alongside Hayley Tamaddon in panto, so has been turning to her for advice on the business.”
The blonde bombshell has amassed an impressive fan base and has over one million followers on TikTok. It seems acting isn't Kitty's only talent as back in 2019 she showed off her vocals when she appeared on Britain's Got Talent with an emotional tribute to her late dad.
Kitty was visibly emotional as she performed With You from the film Ghost. Keith, who was best known for his television show 'The Keith Harris Show' alongside his much loved puppet Orville, died in 2015 aged 67 following a short battle with cancer.
Opening up about the death of her dad in a previous interview, Kitty said: “I feel like my dad is always watching me and he’s always guiding me. I can feel it and I don’t feel upset really at all because I know that he’s there watching down on me.”
