Emmerdale legend Jo Kendall died with just £8,000 to her name

Emmerdale actress Jo Kendall left only £8,317 after she died.

Jo, 88, died in February earlier this year. The actress went down in history with her portrayal of Peggy Skilbeck, specifically for delivering the first ever line in the soap, "Matt. Who's she?", reports Leeds Live.

Jo lived her final days in her London retirement home, leaving £8,137 to her next of kin as she didn't leave a will. Jo's career spanned television, film, and comedy as she rose to fame as the only woman in an inspirational batch of Cambridge comedians - including John Cleese and Goodies Tim Brooke-Taylor and Bill Oddie.
