Sammy Winward Costume Dramas and Cocktail

2010-11-14T12:52:00.003Z

In this weekend’s edition of Fabulous magazine, there is a treat in store for all Emmerdale fans! Four stunning beauties from the popular TV series strike a pose in a “costume dramas and cocktail” styled photo shoot and reveal juicy details about on-screen characters and their private lives. We’ve got some great photos from the photo shoot and some juicy gossip.

Sophie Powles (plays Holly Barton) loves the fact that she could get all glamed up (unlike playing a drug addict) and looks transformed into a Twilight-esque beauty. Here are a couple of quotes from her interview.

"People see me and ask me for drugs!”

"I'm the only person on Emmerdale who comes out of make-up looking worse than when they went in."

Gorgeous Sammy Winward (plays Katie Sugden) is a proud single mum to a five-year-old Mia. She said:

"I can't stay out until 5am anymore. Hangovers and kids don't mix."

Alice Coulthard (plays Maisie Wylde) has been transformed into a 1920s siren. She reveals exclusively that she will be waving goodbye to the TV series in the new year and is planning a big leaving do! She tells us:

“It’s time to move on but I’m nervous.”

Lastly Kelsey-Beth Crossley (plays Scarlett Nicholls) talks about being single again, but in a good way. Here is a quote from her:

"I’m enjoying being footloose and fancy free. I’m not ready to settle down."

Sammy Winward on Love scenes

2010-09-19T18:27:00.002+01:00

Emmerdale's Sammy Winward has admitted she still finds filming love scenes "weird".

The 24-year-old, who plays hopeless romantic Katie Sugden in the ITV soap, has enjoyed dalliances with a number of love interests but still finds them uncomfortable.

"I've been doing it for ages now but it's weird doing it with a mate - imagine having to kiss one of your good friends over and over again," she told Reveal.

"I just make light of it, and have lots of chewing gum."

Sammy has a trick up her sleeve if she's in a playful mood.

"If you want to annoy your co-star, eat a kebab!" she added.

With her screen alter-ego soon being seen in bed with ex-husband Andy, it's not a situation she would agree with.

"I'd advise her to take things slowly. If you get back with an ex, it's often on dodgy ground. You never know, though, it could work!" said Sammy.

Sammy Winward Bullied at School

2010-05-22T19:07:00.001+01:00

Emmerdale star Sammy Winward has revealed that she was bullied at school. She admitted that her older sister had to step in to stop her being tormented.

Winward joined the Yorkshire-based soap in 2001 as Katie Sugden.

Sammy added that 26-year-old Amy had always been protective towards her.

She told Cosmopolitan: "I remember on my first few days of school, someone wanted to beat me up and Amy had it fixed before I'd even heard about it."

Amy added: "She was picked on a bit at school, so I'd go and meet her at the school gate to make sure she was okay."

Despite their close relationship, they admit that they had their share of sibling arguments growing up.

Meanwhile, Emmerdale co-star James Sutton revealed that we will see more of Sammy in coming months.

Talking at the British Soap Awards he admitted that there is a massive storyline coming up for his character Ryan Lamb and his on-screen family.

He told Digital Spy: "We have massive, massive [stuff] coming up.

"The back end of this year, me Lyndon Ogbourne, Amanada Donohoe, Alice Coulthard and Sammy [Winward]... there's a massive storyline for all of us."

Sammy and Amy Real Life Sister Act

2010-05-08T16:19:00.004+01:00

Bolton-born soap star Sammy Winward has spoken about life with a big sister as part of a magazine feature on sibling rivalry.

The Emmerdale actress talks in the June issue of Cosmopolitan about how her relationship with 26-year-old Amy has influenced her life.

Former Turton High School pupil Sammy, aged 24, who plays Katie Sugden in the soap, says they have very different personalities.

But despite rivalry as children, they are now best friends and Amy, who is an accountant, was even present when Sammy’s daughter, Mia, was born five years ago.

Sammy said: “I love Amy.

She’s funny, loyal and great to go out with. She is intelligent and worked really hard at school and university. Amy was the naughty one and I was the goody two-shoes.

Despite that, she’d still play the big-sister card and grass me up — like the time she caught me smoking, even though she’d smoked before.

“She’s very protective too, and not just with me. She’d always be involved in fights at school trying to help the underdog.” Sammy added: “Amy is really competitive, and our worst argument happened in our early teens when I beat her at a computer game. She hit me with the control and I threw it back at her and accidentally burst her lip. I had to lock myself in my room for hours until she calmed down.”

Amy also values their relationship.

“We’re really close as sisters,”

she said. “Sammy is a lot more chilled out than me, so it’s a nice balance. I was very protective of her when she was younger. She was picked on a bit at school, so I’d go and meet her at the school gate to make sure she was OK.

“We used to argue lots when we were younger, but we respect each other now.”

The edition also features Harwood-based Corrie star, Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster) speaking about life as the ‘middle child’.’

Sammy Winward Fabulous Magazine

2010-04-28T04:39:00.003+01:00

Sammy Winward appeared in the latest issue of Fabulous Magazine along with fellow soapstars Helen Flanagan and Tiana Benamin

She's got a new love and a new outlook on life - Sammy Winward, 24, Emmerdale's Katie Sugden, tells us the secrets of her new-found sex appeal.

Talk to Sammy Winward about killer heels, designer garb and the latest mascara and you'll meet a blank stare. She might be Emmerdale's sexiest star (that'll be her blonde locks and cheerleader good looks), but being girlie doesn't kick it for this Bolton lass. Yes, she's done the obligatory lads' mag shoot but that was, she says, a mistake.

"I don't need loads of make-up or slick styling to think that I look good. Sexy for me is about not trying too hard," she says, perched on the edge of a leather couch, make-up free and wearing a blue chequered shirt. But like any woman, she still enjoys a bit of pampering, and the transformation into sexy starlet for our shoot makes a nice change from her off-duty look.

"If people saw me in the street, I doubt they'd think I was the hottest girl around!

"I feel sexiest when I'm happy and content about life. Right now, I'm in a good place with work and relationships. The balance is good and everything feels like it's finally fallen into place."

Just like her character's tendency for botched relationships, Sammy's love life has had soap-opera-style highs and lows.

"I'm very mature in the way I deal with break-ups," admits Sammy, who has a four-year-old daughter, Mia, with Blackburn Rovers footballer David Dunn, 30. "My mum says she's never met anyone who can move on like I can, but I've got more to think about than tears. I generally see the positives when relationships finish. They end for a reason.

"I've never cheated on anyone or been cheated on, but my character gives me an insight into relationships. Maybe that's why I cope so well when my own break down - it feels like I've been there and done that."

Sammy split from David in September 2005, then dated Robin Hood actor Jonas Armstrong, 29, for two years before work commitments drove them apart. Last August she was caught snogging current boyfriend, actor James Sutton, 27, her on-screen lover Ryan Lamb. The couple live apart, but she prefers it as it means more time with Mia.

"Mia puts my life into perspective," says Sammy who lives in a 600-year-old, four-bed house in Bolton, Lancashire. "I love nothing more than getting into our pyjamas, making popcorn, climbing into my bed and cuddling up in front of a film."

She won't flaunt it, but Sammy's more confident than ever about her size-8 body. And it's gone through quite a transformation.

"Before the pregnancy I was 8st and afterwards I dropped to 7st, which was too low for my 5ft 6in frame. I was breastfeeding and caring for a new baby so the weight fell off. Now, I'm 8st 3lb and I feel sexier," she says.

Green-eyed monsters look away now. It's been a year since Sammy exercised and she admits she's a sucker for takeaways. So what's her secret to keeping trim?

"I eat a balanced diet, and if I have a bad day I'll have a good day the next. I'm naturally slender but I don't know if it'll be the same in a few years time!"
