Sammy Winward has just won another legion of male fans! She admitted this week that she likes to pole dance to keep fit.

Sammy, who plays Katie Sugden in Emmerdale told The Sun: “I haven’t had any lessons yet but I’ve taught myself a lot of moves, I can’t do the upside-down stuff but I can do all the spins – it really helps firm up different parts of my body.”

Winward added that feeling confident about her appearance is very important to her.

“I’m always walking around my house naked – I’ll walk around with no clothes on in front of my sister and my mum,” she said. “I feel happy with myself and that’s very important.”
