Holy smoke! Emmerdale bosses are in talks with Batman star Val Kilmer about a possible role in the soap. The big-screen heartthrob became a huge fan of the show while filming the movie Played with Patsy Kensit (aka Sadie “Lady Macbeth” King) last year. He was so hooked he asked the actress to put in a good word for him – and now TV chiefs are negotiating with Val’s agent.

“As you can imagine, everyone is really excited at the prospect of Val coming into the show,” gushed an insider. “It would be a huge signing for them, even if it was only for a few episodes.”

As if the prospect of the Batmobile pulling up outside the Woolpack wasn’t exciting enough, it looks as if Mel B could soon be spicing up Emmerdale. The Scary one is also in talks to star in the soap, hoping it will revive her fading career - as it famously did for Patsy Kensit, who recently quit the show for medical drama Holby City (we hear there’s a queue forming for bed baths already).

And Leeds-born Mel will be able to fall back on her native Yorkshire accent if talks about the role of a northern businesswoman who moves into the Dales succeed. A TV insider told the Sunday Mirror: "The big draw for Mel is that she'd be close to her family again."

No 'Emmerdale' move for Mel B

The weekend papers suggested that former Spice Girls star Mel B is readying herself for a role in Emmerdale.

Despite the reports, a spokeswoman for the Yorkshire-based soap told Digital Spy: "There are certainly no current plans for Mel B to join Emmerdale."

Tabloids also claim that Batman Forever actor Val Kilmer has also been in talks with show bosses.

The show spokeswoman added: "There are no plans for Val Kilmer to join either."
