Back in May, the Member of Parliament fulfilled his promise to visit the ITV soap’s production base in the grounds of Harewood House, West Yorkshire. Sir Lindsay had wished to make the trip in 2022, whilst attending a reception at Speaker’s House to celebrate over 100 years of continuing drama made by the broadcaster.

Having commended regional TV production between Coronation Street and its sister soap, he was gifted a pair of Emmerdale wellies, which he donned on his trip to the dales. The Chorley MP said that the shows ‘are an important part of the fabric of British society and the economic contribution they bring to the North.’.
As well as visiting the exterior set, he also toured the studios and production base close to Leeds city centre – and even filmed a cameo!. In tonight’s addition, he can be seen paying for and thanking stalwart Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) for a cuppa that he’d ‘ordered’ in The Hide bistro.
See what they did there?!. At the time, Mr Speaker told an ITV spokesperson: ‘Incredibly, Emmerdale has been on our screens for more than half a century – shining a light on the lived experience of others; entertaining viewers with its hard-hitting storylines, while also making a major economic contribution to the North.
