Emmerdale star Emily Head on unlikely rumours and her TV heart-throb dad...
Former Inbetweeners star Emily Head joined Emmerdale as glamorous Rebecca White last year. The daughter of actor Anthony Head, she made her TV debut at 16 alongside her sister Daisy in Lynda La Plante’s drama Trial And Retribution. In 2008 she landed the role that was to make her name, schoolgirl Carli D’Amato in cult comedy The Inbetweeners. Emily, 28, who lives in Leeds, talks to us about kissing scenes, hating the gym and growing up with a famous father…
Hey Emily. So, The Inbetweeners years must have been fun. Did you get chatted up loads?
Boys had absolutely no interest, they just wanted to talk about the boys in the series. That’s teenage lads for you! And there were quite a few who would want to quote the lines at me. Once a guy came up and said some lines and asked me to say the other lines. I said, ‘I’m not in that scene,’ and he said, ‘Say it anyway!'
What was it like growing up with such a well known dad?
I wasn’t particularly teased and most of the shows he was in were quite cool, but the day after he appeared on Little Britain in a posing pouch was an interesting one at school! They used to film them in front of live audiences and that happened to be the one I went to with my mum and my sister. He didn’t warn us that it was going to happen. Everyone was whooping and cheering around me. I was 17 at the time and just wanted to hide!

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'
Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
