Emmerdale fans only just realising that chart-topping singer starred on soap before rising to global fame
Emmerdale fans have been left stunned after they discovered a huge chart-topping singer has appeared on the soap. The rock star appeared in the Yorkshire Dales 10 years ago but their stint is only now going viral. Yungblud, 28, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, played the guest role of 'Matt' in 2015. The Doncaster native was brought into the show as a potential love interest for Belle Dingle, even sharing a scenes with the late Steve Halliwell who portrayed Zak Dingle. However, his stint was short-lived and only appeared on-screen in a brief number of episodes. Stunned fans flooded social media with comments when they watched the unearthed clip of him on their feeds. Yungblud , 28, whose real name is Dominic Richard Harrison, played the guest role of 'Matt' in 2015 (pictured in July 2025) One reacted: 'How did I not notice him!!' Another replied: 'Right petition for Dom to get back to the village.' '@Yungblud how didn't I notice you in emmerdale,' said a third amused fan. While a fourth posted: 'This is so cute.' Last week, Yungblud reportedly gave a reading at the funeral of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne at his home in Buckinghamshire. The singer had a very strong relationship with Ozzy, whom he first met in 2022, and it appeared that their relationship grew into an almost father-son type bond. The Black Sabbath frontman died aged 76 on July 22. Following the emotional day, Yungblud took to Instagram to share a close-up snap of the cross necklace Ozzy gifted him in 2022, during the filming of his The Funeral music video. The Doncaster native was brought into the show as a potential love interest for Belle Dingle, even sharing a scenes with the late Steve Halliwell who portrayed Zak Dingle Yungblud later returned the favour by gifting Ozzy a custom-made cross necklace before Black Sabbath's final show at Villa Park in Birmingham. He wrote in the caption: 'goodnight oz. your light will forever shine. I love you,' with fans noting in the caption that Ozzy has 'passed the torch of darkness on' to Yungblud. Meanwhile, Yungblud recently revealed he was back on with his long-term girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark. They had previously split up after a period of intense 'insecurity.' Speaking about their separation, with Paul C. Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, Yungblud revealed Jesse agreed to a temporary separation as he wrestled with the pressures of living life in the spotlight. He said: 'This year has been such a strange thing for me because it's the first time that probably the biggest love of my life, I've taken space from and I've asked for space. 'Last year I was really having problems with myself and it was all a me problem.' 'Her name's Jesse Stark. She's probably the most incredible person I've ever met and she's my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit.'

Wooden animal sculptures installed at Chaddesden Park
A number of carved wooden animal sculptures have been installed at a park in sculptures, which depict a hedgehog, duck, rabbit and owl were all positioned in various places within Chaddesden Park on artwork followed a fundraising appeal by Andrew and Dawn Bailey, the previous leaseholders of the park's East councillors Jerry Pearce and John Wright provided funds from the Neighbourhood Board funding so community group Oakwood Neighbours Sheds could securely install them into the ground. Andrew Frost, who uses the moniker Treeeart, said the sculptures were made from cypress and cedar wood and took him week to carve with a chainsaw."It's good that there's more pieces in the park," he said."They are meant to be tactile and playful so hopefully they will bring some fun and joy for the children."Andrew Cusick, chairman of Oakwood Neighbours Shed, said it was "fun to do something useful for the community"."The funding had been raised for the sculptures but they hadn't actually got anybody who could do the physical installation at the park itself," he said."That's the kind of thing we like to do, so we got together as a group and basically dug a series of holes for the concrete pliths to be placed into, which the animals were placed on top of."We're really delighted that we could help. We are really proud of what we've done."Councillors Pearce and Wright said they hoped the sculptures would "brighten up people's day" when they visit the park.
