Emmerdale looking for extras to star in background scenes of iconic ITV soap

Emmerdale bosses are on the hunt for extras to make their mark on the iconic ITV soap.

Leeds-based agency Star Casting is on the lookout for stars in the making to appear in scenes across the Yorkshire-based village.

Some lucky hopefuls may feature in the café or in the shop, while some might be able to enjoy a drink in the famous Woolpack pub.

The agency is also looking for some lucky people to have a speaking part with a few lines or so, they confirmed.

A spokesperson told Leeds Live : "If you're fun, friendly, punctual and want to be on TV.

"Have the ability to listen and take directions whilst on set. All ages and diverse artists welcome."

The casting agency also provides junior extras for the popular soap.

Younger background characters are typically used in scenes at the park, events in the village and at the school.

Star Casting has also worked with the likes of ITV's Coronation Street, Channel 4's Hollyoaks, and Netflix shows Games of Thrones and Peaky Blinders.
