    Former Hollyoaks Later actress Amy Walsh has landed a stint in Emmerdale.

    Amy, who is the sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, announced the news to followers on her Twitter page.

    She said: "Looks like it's definitely happening. I've just signed on the dotted line of my contract for @emmerdale. Exciting times ahead! Whoop whooo!"

    Details of who Walsh will be playing and her storyline have yet to be revealed, but it's thought that she will start filming at the ITV soap within the next few weeks.

    Walsh previously portrayed the role of Jenifique McQueen in Hollyoaks Later's fourth series in 2011.

    The storyline, which was Walsh's first TV job, saw Jenifique unveiled as a new member of the McQueen family when the feisty clan travelled to Ibiza for Mercedes's hen night.

    As well as Hollyoaks, Walsh has appeared in a number of theatre shows.

    Former Hollyoaks Later star Amy Walsh is playing Sam Dingle's new love interest in Emmerdale.

    Earlier this year, it was revealed that the actress had landed a stint on the ITV soap, but full details of her role can be confirmed for the first time today (July 1).

    Amy, who is the sister of Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, has been cast in the part of Tracy Shankley - a chaotic character who divides opinion when she makes her first appearance in the village next week.

    Tracy arrives in Emmerdale to catch up with Sam (James Hooton) after they came into contact via an adult chat line. He offers her a place to stay, but Lisa quickly becomes suspicious over the newcomer's motives and kicks her out.

    Sam's boss Declan Macey soon takes pity on him by agreeing that he and Tracy can stay at Brook Cottage for a while, but with Robbie Lawson still squatting at the property, they find themselves with an unexpected housemate.

    An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: "With Tracy sticking around in the village, Lisa and Zak remain suspicious over her intentions and insist that she won't get a penny from Sam. Are they right to be worried?"

    Amy previously played the role of Jenifique McQueen in Hollyoaks Later's fourth series in 2011. Kimberley's older sister Sally also appeared in Emmerdale as Lyn Hutchinson between 1997 and 2000.

    Amy Walsh has agreed to reprise her role as Tracy Shankley and will be back on screen in the New Year, while another familiar face will also be descending on the village in the near future.

    Walsh was seen in the role of Amy in the summer and featured in a storyline with established resident Sam Dingle, using him for all she could get.

    While Tracy was only ever intended to be a guest character, show bosses quickly saw potential for her to become a regular.

    Speaking at an Emmerdale press conference on Monday (December 1), Oates explained: "We loved Amy so much when she arrived. She was initially supposed to be a character just in for those few months, to bring Sam back to life after Rachel.

    "We just loved her. The writers really, really loved her and they thought that she brought a classic soap quality to Emmerdale. She's definitely fitted in with the cast brilliantly as she's a great girl."

    She jokingly added: "Amy was part of the team that beat Corrie soundly at netball only a few weeks ago, which basically means she can stay forever!

    "Tracy will be returning in January. Considering that her first appearance was as someone who worked on sex chat lines and had to befriend Sam Dingle as her best bet, even she's fallen on hard times! I wouldn't want to be Tracy for all the tea in china!"

    Walsh, who is the sister of former Girls Aloud sister Kimberley, has already filmed her return scenes.
