Emmerdale newcomer Martelle Edinborough has spoken about a role earlier in her career in a horror film directed by co-star Dominic Brunt.
Martelle Edinborough joined Emmerdale earlier this year as a permanent character after previously having bit-parts in the soap. She’s also previously appeared in fellow ITV soap Coronation Street.
You might not know that last year she had a starring role in a horror movie directed by co-star Dominic Brunt - who plays Paddy Kirk in Emmerdale. Speaking to Inside Soap, Martelle said: “I’ve worked with Dominic Brunt twice before. First in 2017, and then again at the beginning of 2021. I was in his horror movie called Evie.”

Others who appeared in Evie were Nicky Evans, who previously played Roy Glover in Emmerdale, as well as Michael Smiley who has had roles in Luther and Star Wars film Rogue One.
Many Emmerdale fans know Dominic Brunt has a passion for all things horror. Dominic has previously directed Before Dawn and Attack of The Adult Babies.
Later this year, the star’s new film Wolf Manor will be released at cinemas. Taking to Twitter, Dominic said: “A bit of news. We wrapped on our new feature film ‘Wolf Manor’ over the weekend.
“It’s a werewolf film and you’re going to love it. If you follow us @wolfmanorfilm we’ll follow you back straight away. Thank you.”
In the film, Dominic will also be making a cameo as a cannibal named Podge. If you are brave enough to see the film you should apparently be able to recognise Dominic through the chainsaw he carries.
Wolf Manor will be released in cinemas on Friday, September 21. We’ll bring you more about it when we have further information.
