EMMERDALE’S fan-favourite Amy Walsh has very famous siblings- but did you spot it?
The soap actress has been playing Tracy Metcalfe in the ITV soap for seven years.
Tracy, first appeared in the soap as Sam Dingle‘s love interest.
She is now suffering from post natal depression in a devastating mental health storyline.
But, the 34-year-old is not the only member of her family to appear on a soap.
Amy’s sister Sally Metcalfe was also on Emmerdale as Marlon Dingle’s girlfriend Lyn Hutchinson from 1997 to 2000 at the age of 18.
Three years later, Sally left Emmerdale and featured in EastEnders and Coronation Street.
In Coronation Street, Sally played a midwife as Sinead Tinker who gave birth to her baby boy Bertie.
She has worked in film and television from the age of eight and has enjoyed various theatre roles and was in Hollyoaks Later.
Amy has another sister who is a household name from the pop industry in one of the most successful girl bands, Kimberly Walsh.
Kimberly first found fame auditioning for Popstars: The Rivals and then Girls Aloud was formed in 2002.
Her bandmates were Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts.
They have sold over four million singles in their ten-year career.
Kimberley also considered acting like her sisters, as she almost played Maria O’Connor in Coronation Street.

After Girls Aloud split in 2013, Kimberly released a successful solo album and has a number of acting credits on television, the big screen and stage.
She also competed on the 2012 series of Strictly Come Dancing and was runner-up.
Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report Online, Amy said: “It was a bit like Fame in our house.
“There are so many videos of us doing shows when we were kids.
“Every morning before school Sally and Kimberley would rehearse their own little shows and my mum was a music teacher, so she’d be accompanying them on the piano.
“When I first joined Emmerdale, me, my mum and Kimberley all sat together to watch and we had a little bit of a tea party, which was nice.”
