Emmerdale actress Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden, was taken to A&E after stepping on a nail while renovating her home. The 23-year-old shared the news on Instagram, along with a plea to her followers for help with a nail appointment she had to cancel.
Hospital Visit and Instagram Plea
In a post over a picture of her nails, she wrote: “This may be a long shot but are there any nail techs in Leeds that could fit me in either tomorrow or Wednesday? Had to cancel my appointment today due to stepping on a nail and having to go to A&E, house renovation going well.” She added a crying face emoji.
She later shared another picture thanking fans for their support: “All sorted now :). Thanks everyone who reached out, much appreciated! Xx”
Role on Emmerdale
Katie has played Sarah since 2017, taking over from Sophia Amber Moore, as ITV wanted an older actress for a more mature storyline. Sarah has dealt with Fanconi anemia, a bone marrow transplant, and involvement with a drug dealer.
Sarah is now the adoptive mother of Leyla Sugden, whose biological mother is Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins). Charity is married to Mackenzie Boyd, played by Lawrence Robb.
Strictly Come Dancing News
Lawrence Robb was announced as part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. He said: "I don't know who’s more excited about this, me or my Mother. I can't quite believe that I am going to be getting my dancing shoes on this September on one of my favourite shows of all time! It's a dream come true, and I can't wait to bring my all to ballroom. Wish me luck, and any advice is very welcome - trust me I’ll need it!"
Lawrence is known for his role as Mackenzie Boyd, and some have criticised his participation due to dance training at drama school. This year, nine of the 15 celebrities have experience, including Lawrence, Cach Mercer, and Lacey Turner.
An insider told the Mirror: "There is no rule that celebrities cannot have dance experience before taking part and it would be near impossible to find a cast of celebrities who have no previous dance experience as many people in the entertainment industry go to stage school."
