Adele Silva speaks about 'Emmerdale' return

Adele Silva has revealed that she can't wait for her return to Emmerdale.

The actress returns to the soap this year after a five-year break, and producers have promised that her character, Kelly Windsor, will be "stirring things up from the moment she is back."

"I can't wait to go back to the show," Silva told The Sun. "I've done quite a lot since leaving but it was difficult at first because I was a bit typecast.

"I look quite young and everyone thought of me as being Kelly the schoolgirl. I struggled to get away from the little girl image. I've grown up a lot, though, and I'm looking forward to going back and showing the cast and crew that I'm now a sexy woman.

"I'm hoping Kelly will be really badly behaved. It would be fun if she had a few flings, too. I want to really show them what I'm made of. It'll be great to catch up with the actors there too - I can't wait to see them again."

Silva starts filming for the show next month.
