Emmerdale star Charlotte Brierley has opened up about her childhood being a sister to foster children.
Charlotte Brierley, 17, who has previously played a younger version of Chas Dingle, was just five years old when her mum Nicola became a foster carer for Lancashire County Council. As reported by our colleagues at LancsLive, the acting star, who has also appeared in Coronation Street, has opened up about her experiences.
Previewing Foster Care Fortnight, which runs from Monday, May 15 to Sunday, May 28, Charlotte said: "As long as I can remember, I have always been part of a foster family, I have never known anything else. Me and the foster children always looked after each other and me and my mum have kept in touch with all of them.
