'Emmerdale's Natalie J Robb: 'I want to start a family'

Emmerdale star Natalie J Robb has bought her first home as she plans to settle down.

The actress, who plays Moira Barton in the ITV1 soap, purchased a four-bedroom property in Harrogate, close to co-stars Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) and Emma Atkins (Charity Tate).

"I'm ready to put down roots," she told the Daily Record. "I'm so sick of living out of a suitcase. I want it to be a family home so my mum, brother and sister can visit.

"I'd also like to have children. I'm more broody now than I have ever been. You'd have thought at my age I'd have had one by now, but I've been living in London for a while. It was so expensive, it was ridiculous.

"It's also very difficult not having a constant wage. Harrogate is like home now. It is one of the most beautiful parts of England."

Robb added that she is "keeping my cards close to my chest" when it comes to discussing her new boyfriend.
