Ash Palmisciano ’s character Matty Barton is going through one of the toughest times in his life after being held in remand after accidentally stabbing Samson Dingle in Emmerdale .
“I hate watching myself on TV, I can’t stand it,” admits Ash during an exclusive interview with OK!. “But we started watching the scenes where Matty goes to prison. She’s really proud, and I’m very lucky to have her. She’s very level-headed and chilled-out.” After panicking about being convicted, Matty attempted to flee the village but was quickly found and put under arrest.
