Emmerdale fans thrilled as bosses issue Meena update

Emmerdale fans have been left thrilled after show bosses gave an update regarding Meena Jutla.

The evil character, played by Paige Sandhu, was one of the soap's most murderous villains. The nurse killed Leanna Cavanagh before taking the lives of Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker - and she also murdered her friend Nadine before she arrived in the village.

She was finally sentenced to 75 years in prison after also holding her sister, Manpreet, and Vinny Dingle hostage.

Many fans of the long-running ITV soap loved the Meena storyline, and praised Paige for her portrayal of someone so sinister. Now Emmerdale bosses have shared that the star has been nominated for the Best Serial Drama Performance gong at this year's National Television Awards.

A post on Emmerdale's official Instagram account said: "Vote for @paige_sandhu at this year's NTAs! Go to our story and do it now!"

Many fans quickly replied to the post, clearly thrilled by the news. Paula Pickering said: "Paige certainly deserves an award. Her acting was fantastic".

Ian said: "Paige played it well and got my vote", while Aaron Sharp said: "She's my favourite character, brilliant actor she deserves it". Carole said: "Hands down the winner, she was so great. Scares as Hades but could turn into a sweetheart in a second".
