Famous actor from Peaky Blinders joins fourth British soap as Emmerdale seeks to portray violent narrative.

Exciting news for soap fans as former Peaky Blinders and Stay Close star Luke Delaney is set to make his fourth appearance in a UK soap. This time, he will be joining the cast of Emmerdale in a guest role. Luke has previously made brief appearances in Hollyoaks and Coronation Street, but this time he will have a larger role to play in the popular ITV soap.

Fans may remember Luke's brief appearance on Emmerdale last year as a masseuse, but this time he will have a more prominent role. He also made a short appearance on Hollyoaks as Jacob earlier this year, before landing the role of Dave Fairchild in Coronation Street. Dave was involved in a far-right radicalization storyline, which aired between 2022 and 2023.

News of Luke's latest role on Emmerdale was announced by his management on Instagram, where they expressed their excitement for his new project. According to The Sun, Luke's character will be part of the underground fighting ring storyline, which has recently been used to bring back fan-favorite character Ross Barton after a six-year hiatus.

In shocking scenes, Billy Fletcher, who has been participating in illegal fights to support his family, was left speechless when he found out that his opponent was none other than Ross. Luke's character is yet to be named, but he may be familiar to viewers for his role as an armed police officer in Michelle Keegan's Netflix drama Stay Close.

This is not the first time Luke has played a law enforcement officer, as he also appeared in three episodes of Peaky Blinders in 2014. Metro has reached out to an Emmerdale spokesperson for comment on Luke's upcoming role.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and is also available to watch on ITVX at 7am. If you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, you can email us - we'd love to hear from you. Don't forget to leave a comment below and stay updated on all things soaps on our homepage.
