Actress Patsy Kensit is in talks with TV soap Emmerdale's bosses about a role in the programme.

Executives at the soap are talking with the 35-year-old actress's agent in a bid to discover the type of role that Kensit would be interested in playing.

An Emmerdale spokeswoman said: "We've spoken to Patsy's agent to find out whether she would be interested in appearing.

"We'd like her to appear but whether that would be in a major role or as a cameo appearance, we don't know.

"Nothing's been confirmed yet. Nothing's gone any further than that."
