After a brief absence, Amy Walsh returned to Emmerdale earlier this year to play Tracy Metcalfe in the ITV soap opera.
Amy Walsh, a star of Emmerdale, paid respect to her former co-star Michael Praed while discussing their bizarre reunion.
The two actors will compete on Tuesday night’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef alongside rapper Apl.de.Ap, Strictly’s Dianne Buswell, and Love Island contestant Luca Bish.
It didn’t go well the last time viewers of the ITV soap opera saw the couple on television together because Michael’s character made a fatal exit.
The actor who played Frank Clayton died in 2019 after giving his life to save his daughter Tracy.
But when they switch the Dales for the kitchen, the on-screen father and daughter team will be back together.
Amy described what it was wonderful to be reunited with Michael Praed and referred to her MasterChef experience as a dream.
We were close friends, so it was nice to see him, she remarked.
“However, it is a bizarre sensation. It feels very organic and natural, not like you’re watching a TV show.
Although they appeared to be close when working together on Emmerdale, Michael admitted he was unaware that Amy was a co-star.
“I didn’t know Amy was going on the show until I walked into the TV studios ready for filming,” he claimed.
“It was the best surprise ever. Amy truly gave me a sense of family. We’re glad to be back together thanks to MasterChef.
After an 18-month sabbatical for her maternity leave, Amy’s return to the village as Tracy earlier this year thrilled fans.
She returned to the Yorkshire Dales and married her ex-boyfriend Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter).
Although Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb) feared Nate was up to no good and kidnapped him, their wedding almost didn’t go as planned.
Amy remarked of the friendship between the couple: “You just keep seeing the strength they’ve got as a couple – they get each other through, which is really nice.”
