Natalie Ann Jamieson is an actress who took over the role of Amy Wyatt in 2019.
She was born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and has some famous acting friends.
In fact, Natalie is good friends with Eastenders and Casualty star Maddie Hill as they went to the same drama school.
Natalie previously told What To Watch: "A lot of our friends from drama school have been really successful, my best friend is Maddie Hill, who played Nancy in EastEnders and Ruby in Casualty.
"Maddie's on-screen romance on EastEnders was obviously with Himesh Patel's character, Tamwar, and he lives round the corner from us. We have become really good friends with him through Maddie! He's even in our quiz team and will appear on our podcast.”
As well as her work on Emmerdale, Natalie has starred in Vera and Doctors.
After bagging her role in Emmerdale, producer Kate Brooks described the actress as ‘absolutely brilliant’.
She said: “We’ve done it [recasting a character] before.
“We did it with Robert Sugden and it worked a charm, so we’ve got every confidence that she’s going to be a really successful character and that people will fall in love with the character of Amy and her relationships with Pollard and Kerry. That’s who they love.”
Natalie added at the time: “I feel very lucky to be joining the cast of such a loved and respected show. I’m very grateful for this opportunity, and can’t wait to find out what the future holds for Amy!”
While we don’t know much about Natalie’s personal life, we do know she lives with her mystery boyfriend.
