'Emmerdale' star Charley Webb: 'I'd have saviour sibling'

Emmerdale star Charley Webb has said that she would want to give birth to a saviour sibling if she ever faced the same predicament as her character Debbie Dingle.

Debbie was recently left devastated when she discovered that her young daughter Sarah has the rare genetic disorder Fanconi Anaemia. She is now desperate to have a 'designer baby' with her ex Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) to provide a bone marrow match for Sarah.

Webb told The Sun of the storyline: "I know it's a controversial issue and that some people are against the idea of saviour siblings, but it's all about individual choice. I hope the majority of viewers will see why Debbie feels she needs to have another child to save Sarah and also ask themselves, 'What would I do?'

"I think it's positive that we are posing these questions and making people think. I'm confident most people will understand that when it comes down to saving your child's life, you will do whatever it takes.

"Personally, I wouldn't care what it took. I would do absolutely everything and anything to save my child."

Webb and fellow Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden (David Metcalfe) have an 18-month-old son named Buster together. They have been an item for the past four years.

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.
