A former Emmerdale star is set to return to the village in a new role.
Flo Wilson, who previously enjoyed a brief stint playing a nurse in Emmerdale back in 2012, will take on the part of Vicar Charles Anderson’s mum later this year. She’s already started filming scenes with some of the Emmerdale cast as character Claudette.
Flo said: "I feel blessed that I was chosen to play Claudette and I hope to make the Emmerdale family proud of the work that I will do." Elsewhere, you may recognise Flo from stints in Sanditon, Death in Paradise, Coronation Street and Help.

Flo is a wonderful soul, an amazing actress and is already settling in."
