ITV Emmerdale star lands ‘brilliant’ new role months after tragic soap death

A former Emmerdale star shared some exciting career news on social media this week

A former Emmerdale star has landed a “brilliant” new role just months after their tragic soap death.

Natalie Ann Jamieson joined the ITV soap as Amy Wyatt back in 2019, where she was introduced as the biological daughter of Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) who was fostered by Val (Charlie Hardwick) and Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell).

At the age of seventeen, Amy gave birth to her son, Kyle Winchester (Huey Quinn), who she shared with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).

She notably got married to Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) last year. However, tragedy struck in February when Amy died of hypothermia after the devastating limo crash, which also claimed the lives of Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough).

The coroner’s report on the limo crash was revealed last week, with Amy, Leyla and Suzy’s deaths being ruled as “accidental”.

Nine months on from her tragic soap exit, actor Natalie is embarking on an exciting new role.

The star is set to appear in a staged reading of a play at The Tute Cambois in the North East later this month.

The charity confirmed the news on Instagram earlier this week (November 3) with the caption: “Thrilled to announce Natalie Ann Jamieson will star in All of It by Alistair McDowall at The Tute on the 21st November as part of Rude Health Festival. You may know her from Emmerdale.

“This is a brilliant staged reading of a play encompassing all of life, and we’ll be joined by the much-celebrated playwright and director Maria Crocker for a post-show discussion. Free tickets are available.”

Fans quickly took to the comments section to share their excitement, with one person writing: “Looks great!”

Another added: “Ticket sorted! See you there,” while a third said: “Oo exciting stuff!”

The news comes after Natalie recently launched her own t-shirt business, titled By Nat Jam, which she announced via a series of posts on Instagram.

Alongside a video showcasing her embroidered t-shirt collection, Natalie explained the reasons behind her new venture.

“Why am I making tee’s? Well lots of reasons, and I’ll do some vids for you about that, but mostly for FUN!” she wrote.

“I can’t tell you how many conversations these tee’s sparked at Glasto. How much fun we had wearing them. The fun we had making videos in them. The fun I have had learning to make them to put a big smile on people’s faces!

“I’m lucky enough to do something I love as an actor and I never want to let that go – so I’m taking it into all aspects of my life! Do what you love, have fun doing it and make people smile.”

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 at 7.30pm and is available to stream from 7am on ITVX
