Emmerdale star Jay Kontzle has made an hilarious admission that his family don’t watch him in the soap.
While appearing on Channel 4 programme Steph’s Packed Lunch, the star, who plays Billy Fletcher in Emmerdale, discussed being brought up by his grandparents following the death of his mum. Sadly, Jay’s died after being involved in a car accident when she was just 21.

As reported by OK!, Jay, who is an ambassador for the Kinship charity, said: “I owe my grandparents everything. They raised me and looked after me through thick and thin.
