VIEWERS IN SHOCK!!! Emmerdale fans only realising 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.

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.

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.’
