“To be able to do a job that you love in your hometown is very rare. But I couldn’t have stayed and done Band Of Gold, so I didn’t have a choice.

“I really hoped I could have done that and stayed at Emmerdale but it wasn’t possible. And they left the door open for me.”

Asked if she would return to Emmerdale or rule it out, she said: “Absolutely not – it’s a great job.”

“They think they’ve won £500 to start with, which they’re delighted with, but it then becomes apparent they might have won quite a bit more than that.

“The syndicate try to track down the shopkeeper who sold them the lottery ticket – and is now in Monaco – to find out what’s gone wrong and why.”

She added: “It’s a cat-and-mouse chase and nothing is as it seems.”
