IN DA CLUB Ex-Emmerdale star reveals he’s landed job in 50 Cent’s HUGE new US drama a year after soap exit

EX-EMMERDALE star Jurell Carter has revealed he’s landed a job in 50 Cent’s HUGE new US drama a year after his soap exit.

On the ITV soap, the actor, 34, played Nate Robertson, the secret son of Cain Dingle, who was murdered by serial killer John Sugden.

But since leaving Emmerdale two years ago, the former soap star’s career has soared, and he is now mingling with Hollywood heavyweights.

The thrilled star today shared some big news with his fans, and revealed he had been working with superstar rapper 50 Cent.

Over the last few years, the A-list star, real name Curtis Jackson, 50, has become a producer, and Jurell revealed he is starring in his new TV show.

Taking to Instagram to share his exciting news, the actor wrote: “Grateful to be a part of something very special.

‘”Fightland’ British-set boxing crime series executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Premieres 31st July.”

The star also shared a slew of snaps from the new TV show.

Fightland, which will be available to be streamed on US platform Starz, follows a disgraced boxing champion who is released from prison and returns to London to take revenge on the crime family that betrayed him.

Earlier this year Jurell teased fans with news that he had landed his “biggest role yet”.

He told fans: “Nate’s gone but I filmed on two projects in 2025 so I’ll be back on your screens this year and also maybe on your big screens in 2027.”

Meanwhile, after his shock Emmerdale exit, Jurell opened up about Nate being killed off and how it spurred him on in his career.

He told Digital Spy: “I spoke to some of my colleagues – including Eden [Taylor-Draper], who I’m close to.

“I remember saying, ‘As sad as I am – because I know there’s no going back – it almost gives me more reason just to go full force to the pedal outside of Emmerdale and really give it my all’.

“Once you know there’s no option for a potential return, you think to yourself, ‘Okay, it’s now or never and I need to go for it, full steam ahead, because there’s no safety blanket’.”

Asked if he felt he made the right decision to leave Emmerdale, he replied: “Sometimes in your gut, you just have that feeling where you think, ‘It’s time now’.

“You might love your current situation or your current job, but sometimes you just know when it’s time for the next chapter.”
