Emmerdale star Jessie Elland was met with heaps of praise after announcing she’ll be publishing her first book.
The Chloe Harris actress left the soap last Christmas and shared via Instagram that she’s now a published children’s author.
Jessie penned: ‘I wrote a book and it’s going to be published!!! Ironically I can’t find the words to better articulate this news.’
My very first novel will be published by @baskervillejmp, in the UK & Commonwealth. This would absolutely not be possible without my amazing agent @ktgreenstreet and the entire team at @paperliterary
Life just continues to get more surreal; to have something you’ve dreamed about since you were six years old (swipe!) come to fruition is something beyond words. This one is a particularly special fig. 📖💗
Her book The Ladie Upstairs is set for release in May 2025, and fans and fellow co-stars rushed to congratulate the soap star.
Actor Lawrence Robb (Mackenzie Boyd) replied: ‘You’re incredible! Utterly incredible!!’
Actress Daisy Campbell (Amelia Spencer) added: ‘We are so proud of you jessie 🥹🥹🥹.’
The novel follows a scullery drudge named Ann who desires to become a lady’s maid.
‘Ann can’t quite remember how or when she arrived at Ropner Hall,’ the synopsis reads (via The Bookseller). “She loathes spending her days toiling in the dank kitchen, so when a chance meeting with Lady Charlotte leads to the opportunity to become her personal maid, Ann is convinced she has finally escaped her own version of hell.
‘But has she? As Ann’s experience above stairs takes a sinister twist, will it turn out that the terrors lurking there are worse than the devils she knows below?’
Jessie’s Emmerdale storyline came to a conclusion on Boxing Day last year, which marked the end up Chloe’s love triangle plot with Mackenzie Boyd and Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
