Emmerdale’s Lloyd actor already starred on the soap before stalker role – but can you recognise him?

EMMERDALES’ Amelia Spencer got an unwanted visit from her stalker Lloyd – but where have you seen the actor before?

Matt Sutton made his debut as Lloyd after he arrived on the Dales least week as Amelia Spencer’s (Daisy Campbell) stalker.

Amelia turned to social media influencing as a way of earning some extra cash to help her father Dan Spencer and to support her baby Esther.

Despite finding success, she also received unexpected and unwanted attention from a fan who wanted to get to know her.

Last week, she came face-to-face with her crazed fan which turned out to be Lloyd.

However, some fans recognise him as he was on Emmerdale before as a younger version of Shadrach Dingle.

Shadrach was played by Andy Devine and was Zak Dingle’s older brother and father of Chas Dingle and Gennie Walker.

Cain Dingle also believed that Shadrach was his father too however he later discovered that Zak was his real dad.

But, in July 2010, Shadrach died after he fell into a river following his long battle with alcohol which also affected his liver.

Then Shadrach reappeared seven years later in a flashback sequence between his ex-wife Faith and stepson Cain.

The scene took place in the 1980s and Shadrach was portrayed by actor Matt Sutton.

The scene showed Shadrach’s brutal beating of his partner Faith and almost punching Cain, who was still a child at the time.

Since then, Cain has mentioned on several occasions that Shadrach was violent towards him in the past.

Actor Matt also played the role of PC Nicholas Palmer in Emmerdale in January 2008.

He has previously starred in Doctors playing the role of Charlie Cash in an episode which aired in 2014.

Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
