Ellard: 'Scouting will be on Emmerdale'

Scouting For Girls will guest star on Emmerdale soon, according to the band's drummer Pete Ellard.

Ellard, who is a fan of the serial, has plotted a cameo appearance for the last few months.

He told Holy Soap: "We've realised if you say it enough things will happen. I think if we keep saying yes we will be on Emmerdale very, very soon."

Frontman Roy Stride added jestfully: "I think we need to graduate to a speaking role. I think maybe [we'd be] an extra.

"Maybe first of all we could be walking through the field, like a hiker in the background or a shepherd, then we'd have to be in the Woolpack."
