The actress – who portrays Sarah Sugden in the long-running ITV soap – filmed a video of her telling fans that her new single is available on various streaming services, and she asked people to give it a listen and let her know if they like it.

Fans expressed their admiration for the star on TikTok, with @shyron.edwards commenting: ‘You have a beautiful voice I love your character on emmerdale x.’

@Dillon added: ‘So proud of you Katie!! I’ve always said your voice was insanely good but I hope so many more will find this and think the same!! truly :).’

Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell (Amelia Spencer) wrote: ‘Yayyy so proud of you.’

Over in the Dales, Sarah has displayed some questionable behaviour in recent months that has raised a few eyebrows.

For starters, she betrayed her family by allowing herself to be wooed by bad lad Josh, who had got Matty (Ash Palmisciano) sent down for a crime he didn’t commit. The family were up in arms when they found her having a cosy lunch with him, the enemy.

Then, Charity lost it when she discovered Sarah had been drinking while on her medication – a dangerous combination and a reckless act that showed her low regard for her own life.

Sarah has previously made it clear that she is not to be treated with kid gloves despite her illness and short life expectancy, but turning into this kind of risk taker is certainly concerning.

So, Charity decides to help her spice up her life a bit – if it’s a thrill she’s after, it’s a thrill she’ll get.

And Charity knows a thing or two about spicy living and a life of crime, having been a sex worker, murdered more than one man, been involved in casino scams, and goodness knows what other underhand activities there have been.
