Celebrating the ITV soaps 50th Anniversary, residents in the Yorkshire Dales are set to get caught up in a horror storm that will wreak havoc through the village. The scenes will be part of a huge stunt week, which will feature a cow stampede, endanger residents, leaving some stars trapped and missing amid a horrifying windstorm.
Giving viewers a glimpse of what's in store, Lorraine, 62, had a wee peek around the set as she made her way to the Woolpack's bathroom - which comprised of just one wall with a sink and mirror, writes the Mirror.

Meanwhile, presenter Ria Hebden joined Emmerdale's head of hair and make-up, Claire Golds, who revealed what the actors were really like while they were getting ready.

Surprisingly, she said that the girls were generally "pretty speedy" about getting ready and that it was generally the boys who seemed to take their time. "We've got a lot of boys that like a lot of attention and detail to their hair," she said.
Opening up about the creative challenges they faced as a team for the storm week, she said: "We kind of had to just go with the wind and allow it to be a natural look and let the hair blow in the wind and not control it too
