Patsy Kensit is returning to ‘Emmerdale' this year reprising her role as Sadie King, it has been confirmed.
The actress previously starred in the show from 2004 to 2006. Sadie, the former wife of Jimmy King, arrived in 2004 with her devious demeanour and ruthless ambition which drove many dramatic storylines, including a house explosion and high-stakes affairs with a young Robert Sugden and Cain Dingle. Sadie’s ultimate comeuppance came at the hands of Cain, who double-crossed her, stole the ransom money, and dramatically left her behind.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw says: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Patsy Kensit back to the cast and crucially to see the iconic Sadie King storm back into the village. Her return will be explosive and guaranteed to shock. Sadie’s seductive demeanor, combined with her utterly ruthless nature, are set to deliver a spectacular and highly dramatic touch of class to the Yorkshire Dales.”
Kensit says: “I am really excited to return to ‘Emmerdale'. I treasure the years I was here before. Sadie King is a character that I really loved playing. The cast and crew are absolutely brilliant and I am so grateful for the chance to return to the show, it’s absolutely amazing.”
Kensit has a wealth of television and film credits, including ‘Lethal Weapon 2' and ‘Holby City'.
‘Emmerdale' airs at 8pm weeknights on ITV1 and STV or from 7AM on ITVX and STV Player and YouTube.
