Big Brother's Emma is a secret Coronation Street and Emmerdale star
Big Brother returned on Sunday (6 October) night with a bang, welcoming 16 new housemates from all over the UK into the iconic house. Some eagle-eyed viewers thought housemate Emma looked familiar, and it turns out the 53-year-old is no stranger to the small screen.
Some have noticed that Emma Morgan - who was the second housemate to enter the show - has made multiple cameo appearances in Coronation Street as a nurse, with one viewer sharing on X: "Obsessed with the fact that Emma from Big Brother is a former Page 3 model who's played a nurse in Coronation Street not once but twice". It's not just Corrie she's been part of, as Emma is also said to have starred in Hollyoaks and Emmerdale, alongside many theatre productions, following a career as a glamour model in the 1990s.
Another fan tweeted: "Why pretend the housemates are “normal” people. Emma was a page 3 model throughout the 90s, who later became an actress currently signed to Mint Casting? Yet you never mentioned any of that."

These days, Emma is an aesthetics business owner whose daughter told her to apply and confesses her 'jaw dropped' when she was accepted into the show. Describing herself as a 'mother hen' during her entrance into the house, she joked she's '21' and admitted she wears pants with 'built in butt cheeks' to ramp up her assets.
Sharing what she thinks she'll bring to the house, Emma said: "I’m going to bring peace and harmony and a whole lot of laughter - that’s going to be me. But saying that, I could go in there and be the one to cause all the drama. I would like to think I’m the peacemaker.

"People ask me if I’m going to be the mother hen in the house - I might have times where I’m the mother hen but generally speaking I’ll be one of the girls. I don’t think I really act my age when I really should so I can’t see myself acting my age in Big Brother.
Going into the house for a good time, Emma admitted that she doesn't have a game planwhen it comes to the show either. She said: "No - I’m a little bit worried because maybe I should have a strategy but at the end of the day the whole concept of Big Brother is to be a fly on the wall and watch how normal people interact and what happens.
"I think if you go in there with a game plan to behave in a certain way or not to say a certain thing, you’re cheating the game and yourself."
