Sammy Winward the bookworm
Saturday, 3rd October 2009.
You'd be forgiven for thinking all young soap stars were caught up in the standard celebrity lifestyle of lavish houses, fast sports cars and never ending showbiz parties.
So it comes as a bit of a surprise to find out that Emmerdale babe Sammy Winward has a passion for something rather geeky - history books and classic novels!
The 23-year-old actress - who plays Katie Sugden on the Yorkshire soap - revealed Evelyn Waugh and Emily Brontë’s novels have been keeping her up late at night recently.
She said: "I love history books and I have also been reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, which is not normally my thing at all.
"And I've been reading Brideshead Revisited, which was quite heavy,
“And I've nearly finished Wuthering Heights. I like classics!"
Winward has even been holidaying in an unlikely place this summer: "I went to Romania,” she said. “It's a bizarre country, but amazing.
“And I went camping with my family. We had the best time, although putting up the tent was a nightmare.”
But alas, Winward confirmed her true soap star celeb status by adding: “Then I visited Ibiza with a friend, which was really good fun. "
Phew, we thought we’d lost you there Sammy!
Katie Sugden is set to be on our screens a bit more often in the coming months with a new romance plot on the cards.
