House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle surprised Emmerdale fans with a cameo appearance on the ITV soap. The Chorley MP joined the show's 10,000th episode celebrations, filmed earlier in 2024, as a Lancastrian rambler who enjoyed a cup of Yorkshire tea at the Hide Bar & Bistro. Producers were initially unable to use his footage due to election restrictions, but used post-production magic to incorporate his appearance into the episode.
House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has stunned Emmerdale fans after making a surprise appearance on the ITV soap.
"As a Lancastrian, I am hugely impressed by the talent and warmth of our friends on ‘the other side’ of the Pennines." Emmerdale, first broadcast on October 16 1972 by Yorkshire Television, first covered the Sugden family, opening with the funeral of patriarch Jacob Sugden, and was called Emmerdale Farm. On November 14, 1989, the word farm was dropped from the title of the programme as the show shifted the focus beyond the Sugden family and the land to the wider village.
