Soap actor Ash Palmisciano, known to millions for playing Emmerdale’s first transgender character, has spoken about the searing grief of losing his mum.
This week sees his on-screen character Matty Barton plunged into family turmoil when he discovers he has been betrayed by his mum Moira and girlfriend Amy, who lied to him that Cain shot dead former Woolpack co-owner Al Chapman when it was actually Kyle.
Thankfully such family drama is a far cry from Ash’s real life – he feels incredibly lucky that his dad Adrian and mum Michelle showered him and his younger sister Sophie with love.
