Kimberley Walsh, a member of the popular girl group Girls Aloud, recently revealed that she had auditioned for a role on the long-running ITV soap Emmerdale. However, she unfortunately did not get the part, despite her sister Amy being a prominent cast member on the show.
Amy has been playing the character of Tracy Metcalfe since 2014, and even briefly returned for the show's 50th anniversary in 2022. She then permanently rejoined the cast last July for Tracy's wedding to Nate Robinson. However, things haven't been smooth sailing for Tracy as she engaged in an affair with Nate's uncle Caleb Miligan.
The affair was eventually exposed by Caleb's wife, Ruby, at Belle and Tom King's wedding. Recently, Tracy has also been caught up in a feud with Ella Forster. But Amy is not the only Walsh sister to have appeared on Emmerdale. Their elder sister, Sally, played the character of Lyn Hutchinson from 1997 to 2000.
In an interview with The Sun's Fabulous Magazine, Kimberley shared her own experience of auditioning for Emmerdale and not getting the role. She joked that maybe the show's bosses didn't want to go for a "hat-trick" with the Walsh sisters. Despite not getting the part, she fully supports her sister's success on the soap.
Kimberley also mentioned that she would be open to appearing on the show for a couple of episodes, but she is currently focusing on other projects. She explained that being on a soap is a big commitment and something she cannot offer her time to at the moment.
However, Kimberley is no stranger to television, having gained fame through ITV's Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. She is currently presenting on BBC Morning Live and hopes to do more presenting work in the future. She trusts her instincts and is excited to see where her career takes her.
In the midst of her busy schedule, Kimberley and her Girls Aloud bandmates recently reunited for a nationwide tour. The group, who had previously disbanded, decided to come together again for their fans. This article was originally published on 10th April 2023.
