Former Emmerdale actress Hayley Tamaddon is set to send male temperatures soaring in her latest role in The Royal Today. Hayley, who played Delilah Dingle in the Dales, will be guest starring in the medical drama as a stripper, who's taken ill and gets stuck in her PVC nurse's uniform.

As well as acting, Hayley has tried her hand at singing and cooking, having taken part in both Soapstar Superstar and Soapstar Superchef.

We put Hayley’s cooking talents to the test with a Millionaires Shortbread bakeoff with Phil Vickery.
