Emmerdale Angelica stars’ lives – Girls Aloud link, recasting rumours and death aged three
Angelica King confessed to driving the car which killed Heath Hope in recent scenes but who are the young actress' who've played the youngster in the ITV soap over the years?
Emmerdale teen Angelica King is currently at the centre of a gripping storyline as she confessed to driving the car which killed Heath Hope.
Before the New Years Eve crash. the schoolgirl was rarely seen in the soap and some fans were convinced that she had been recast but in fact the role is still played by actress Rebecca Bakes, who took over from original child star Sophie Firth in 2009.
Angelica had a rocky start to life when she was kidnapped from the maternity ward of the hospital where she was born by Carl King’s wife Lexi, who was desperate for a child of her own. The pair were found on the hospital roof after a daring escape.
Angelica has also been at the centre of a biting plotline when Heath’s sister Cathy Hope bit her on the arm at the village kids’ club, which saw Nicola go on to bite youngster Cathy as revenge. It saw her taken to court but escaped with a caution – despite her trial being the same day as her wedding to Jimmy.
