Hollyoaks star joins Emmerdale as ‘ambitious and ruthless’ new character – and it’s bad news for Billy Fletcher
Country music Twinnie will appear on Emmerdale tonight
A COUNTRY music star will travel between the worlds of music and acting as she makes a special appearance in Emmerdale.
Twinnie-Lee Moore is a 37 year old actress, singer, and songwriter from York, who also happens to be a country star, but she is hanging up her microphone for the time being to appear in the Yorkshire-based soap tonight.
She plays ambitious and ruthless boxing promoter Jade.
With Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) already drawn into the dark world of unlicensed boxing, Jade’s arrival will put pressure on him to continue this dangerous trade.
But Jade has an agenda and Billy’s safety is not on it.
He’s tempted by Jade’s offer and the financial promises that comes with it, but he’s also aware of the dangerous consequences it may bring.
Over the coming months, will Billy come to regret his association with callous Jade or has he already put his family in grave danger?
You may recognise Twinnie from Hollyoaks where she played Porche McQueen.
However, she took a brief break to focus on her career as a country music singer.
She has worked with greats such as Bryan Adams and is due to go on a tour with Keifer Sutherland.
But Twinnie will make a special appearance on the soap around her music commitments.
Speaking about her new role, Twinnie said: “My life has been a bit crazy recently juggling music and acting with lots of back and forth between Nashville and Yorkshire but I’ve been loving it!!
“I’ve loved being back on screen, especially as the show is shot in Yorkshire, being able to be home with family and go to work on such an iconic show has been nothing short of amazing!
“The whole team has been so welcoming and really supportive. My character is so much fun to play and I can’t wait to see how the audience reacts to her.”
During a previous appearance on Lorraine, Twinnie revealed that music has always been her lifelong passion, growing up in a musical family.
“Music my whole life,” she gushed.
” I’ve been on stage since the age of four and my first concert was Gilbert O Sullivan’s.
However, she pursued acting as her first love until a co-star persuaded her to explore her other talent,
She said: “I think what attracted me to country music is their ability to tell good stories, which is what I have tried to do in my songwriting.
“I have spent lots of time in Nashville, it is so intoxicating, I have several friends who are like family there. If you’ve never you should.”
Watch out for her on Emmerdale, which airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
