Paige Sandhu dropped Emmerdale script in shock as she read evil Meena final scenes

Paige Sandhu dropped her 'Emmerdale' script and gasped in shock when she read about her character's big finale.

The 25-year-old star has teased fans they can expect some dramatic scenes and a "big secret" to be revealed in tonight's (14.04.22) episode, which will add "another dimension" to her evil, serial killer character Meena Jutla.

When speaking about Meena's big finale on Thursday night, she said: "I always imagined it would go a certain way, but it's so much better than that. It's just so dramatic and there's one thing that's going to come out tonight where I actually dropped my script [and gasped] 'I can't believe it.'

"This is a big, big secret that I think the audience will love and be really exciting and just adds another dimension to Meena, Meena's relationship with her sister and the whole storyline."

Paige admitted Meena - who is the younger sister of Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) - has been an "absolute dream of a character" to play, and she couldn't have written her any better.

Speaking on 'Lorraine', she added: "It's just been a delight. I feel like 'Emmerdale' just went into my brain and saw my dream character, plucked her out and put her on a page. She's just an absolute dream of a character.

"She gets to go crazy, wild and then you see moments like last night when she was on the stand, and she's an incredible actress. It's just been a dream."

'Lorraine' airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and ITV Hub.
