Who is Meena's barrister in Emmerdale? Amy Robbins' acting career and famous siblings

Emmerdale's latest serial killer Meena is back on our screens this week as her trial looms ever closer, an event that is already causing uproar and turmoil in the village. During a recent episode, viewers were given an insight into Meena's life in prison as the evil character played by Paige Sandu prepared for her upcoming court case set to air on ITV from April 11.

But there has been one new cast member who has got viewers talking - Meena's new barrister aka actress Amy Robbins. Robbins is perhaps best known for her role as Dr Jill Weatherill in the much loved ITV period drama The Royal between 2003 and 2011.

Whilst some viewers couldn't quite put their finger on where they recognised her from, other viewers were convinced it was singer and actress Kate Robbins - mum to comedian and actress Emily Atack. But Kate quickly put the rumours to bed and confirmed that it was in fact her sister, 51-year-old actress Amy - but the pair do look remarkably similar.
