Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page has expressed an interest in acting alongside her husband James Thornton in Emmerdale.

The 31-year-old Welsh actress, who plays Stacey in the BBC comedy series, revealed that her interest stems from her partner's (John Barton) praise of filming in the soap's "gorgeous" Yorkshire location.

Page told PA: "[It] could be quite good fun because James says it's just gorgeous filming out in the fields.

"I'd be able to do a good northern accent if I did Emmerdale."

Thornton, 34, was cast as the head of Emmerdale's new farming family earlier this year alongside ex-Bill actress Natalie J. Robb and Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas's (Jason Grimshaw) brother Adam.

The Bartons made their screen debut on July 17.
