Winward: 'I'm loving Emmerdale drama'

Sammy Winward has praised her current Emmerdale storylines, which have seen her character Katie Sugden back at the centre of drama in the village.

Last month, Katie faced a dangerous situation when her home was set on fire by twisted detective Nick Henshall (Michael McKell).

Meanwhile, there is more trouble in store for the blonde later this week when she finally discovers Henshall's true colours - prompting him to hold her hostage at his house as police and concerned loved ones gather outside.

Speaking to We Love Telly about Katie's recent woes, Winward commented: "It's been a nerve-racking time, which I've loved. The fire was filmed during the snow storms and we had to be evacuated twice!

"And the siege has been the most intense thing I've ever done. There's been a lot of crying and screaming. I was bruised from head to toe."

Of Katie's love life, the actress added: "She always picks the wrong guy! Henshall seemed the perfect fella. It's a shame he's a psycho."

Katie begins to grow suspicious of Henshall tomorrow at 7pm on ITV1.
