House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle will make a cameo in ITV's Emmerdale, marking the show's 10,000th episode. Dressed as a Lancastrian rambler, Hoyle orders tea at the fictional Hide Bar & Bistro and compliments a character played by Charlotte Bellamy. His participation stems from a soap industry event where he was gifted wellies, prompting the producers to invite him. Filmed in May, the appearance was delayed due to political coverage restrictions nearing the last election. Hoyle termed it an 'honour' to celebrate this milestone in the series' long history since its debut in 1972.
Sir Lindsay described the experience as an 'honour' to be part of the 10,000th episode and expressed joy in blending politics with popular culture.
After receiving a pair of wellies at a soap industry reception, the producers playfully insisted he must appear in Emmerdale, leading to his cameo.
