Amy Walsh: Life on Emmerdale, Baby Nell & the Walsh Sisters | Yorkshire Talks

Welcome to the first guest episode of our brand-new series of Yorkshire Talks with Matt Jameson and Christine Talbot. We're kicking things off with a very special guest — Amy Walsh, best known for playing Tracy Metcalfe in Emmerdale. Amy recently filmed Tracy's emotional exit from the village, but don't worry, it's only temporary: she's taking a well-earned break to welcome her second baby, little Nell, who also makes an adorable camera debut. In this warm and honest conversation, Amy opens up about becoming a mum for the second time, how Emmerdale viewers reacted to her pregnancy news, and what it's been like bringing the complex character of Tracy to life. She shares hilarious stories about growing up in Bradford with her famous sisters — Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh and former Emmerdale actress Sally Walsh — including the unforgettable moment they "trained" her to cry. Amy also reflects on forging her own path as an actress, tackling Tracy's powerful postnatal depression storyline, and why she and her husband, actor Toby-Alexander Smith, felt compelled to create a new film highlighting the impact of depression on young fathers. As if that wasn't enough, we also chat about her time as a Celebrity MasterChef finalist, her love of cooking, and the surprising way she first met Toby — in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing. It's a heartfelt, funny and inspiring conversation, complete with plenty of gorgeous baby gurgles from little Nell.
