She enjoyed 18 months playing a serial killer which led to a string of nominations and TV gongs. But former Emmerdale star Paige Sandhu has plans for more wacky screen parts and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Helena Bonham Carter.
Paige played Meena Jutla who is serving life in jail after murdering Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker in the Yorkshire Dales. Oscar-nominated Helena, 56, played a murderer who made pies out of corpses in creepy 2007 flick Sweeney Todd, directed by her ex Tim Burton.
Paige, 25, said: “I loved playing a serial killer. Meena is funny and she can be childlike. She is unpredictable and that can make people go, ‘I know she is bad but I’m kind of rooting for her to get away with it so I can watch her more’.
