Emmerdale's landmark anniversary is taking place this month as the ITV soap celebrates five decades on our television screens with an hour long special episode set to air on the official birthday. On the lead-up to the milestone event, the long-running drama has been releasing some special photoshoots featuring members of the cast.
A new image has been released of five cast members in a 70s-style photoshoot - to mark the decade in which hit ITV soap, previously known as Emmerdale Farm, first launched. Jessie Elland, who plays Chloe Harris; Rosie Bentham, who plays Gabby Thomas; Katie Hill, who stars as Sarah Sugden; Daisy Campbell, who plays Amelia Spencer and Karene Peter, who stars as Naomi Walters, stepped back in time for the shoot and donned vintage style outfits paying homage to 1972 - the year the very first Emmerdale episode aired.
“I absolutely loved the shoot," Jessie Elland, who plays Chloe Harris, said: "It was so great to see everyone all together in the outfits and dance around to some 70s music. All the girls have been doing such an amazing job on screen, so it was great to get to celebrate with them during this shoot!”
