Emmerdale star is worlds away from soap as she strips down to bikini for outrageous horror film role before telly fame
A new Emmerdale star looked worlds away from her role on the soap as she stripped down to a bikini for an outrageous horror film role she played before her recent fame.
Newcomer Georgia Jay, who plays Stephanie Milligan in Emmerdale, landed a part in a twisted Hollywood horror film before securing her place on the ITV soap.
Back in 2015, she played Jennifer in Lake Placid vs Anaconda, a comedy horror crossover of the Anaconda film series and Lake Placid film series.
The film's synopsis says: 'A giant crocodile goes head to head with a giant anaconda.
'The town Sheriff must find a way to destroy the two monsters before they kill the whole town.'
In the film, Georgia's character Stephanie strips down to a bikini as she and a group of other girls run through a forest to escape the huge anaconda.

The film also starred Corin Nemec, Yancy Butler, Skye Lourie and Robert Englund.
The 90-minute flick didn't receive the best reception, scoring just 21 out 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.
It also only managed to reach 14 per cent on the film rating websites 'Popcornmeter'.
Critics called it a 'made-for-cable genre film' and other reviewers said that everything about it 'sucks, especially the CGI'.
Georgia's other pre-Emmerdale gigs included playing Diane Vickers in 2019 BBC drama series Giri/Haji - which only lasted one season.
She also landed minor parts in Glow and Darkness in 2021, as well as The Devil Sits on Both Shoulders in 2018.

As she joined ITV's Emmerdale earlier this month, Georgia said: 'I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale.
'The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I’m very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.'
So far, fans have watched Stephanie and her estranged parents, Caleb and Ruby Milligan-Fox, navigate their tense relationships on screen.
However, as fan theories about Stephanie's real parents swirl, it is uncertain what is in store for her character in the future.
What we do know is that her arrival on the dales is going to have 'far-reaching repercussions', according to ITV producers.
Emmerdale is available to stream exclusively on ITVX.
