'Emmerdale' star Natalie Anderson has said fans of the soap are set for a bombshell involving her character Alicia Gallagher and estranged sister Leyla Harding (Roxanne Ghawam-Shahidi).

When asked by the Press Association why the siblings are not close, Anderson replied: "I can't tell you because there's a huge reveal coming up. It's something that happened in their past when they were younger. That's why Alicia's not fond of Leyla."

She continued: "They were incredibly close when they were younger, especially when they were teenagers, and then something happened between them which led to Leyla moving away and eventually finding herself in Emmerdale village."
