EMMERDALE’s Louise Jameson has revealed she’s been left ‘terrified’ after turning 70 and admitted a daily a struggle.
The soap star, 72, is currently playing the role of Mary Goskirk in the long-running ITV show.
Louise has admitted she struggles daily with scammers
Opening up about the toll its taking on her, she said: “I will get an email, phone call or text at least once a week trying to tempt me into some scam”
As viewers will soon see her character be scammed, Louise has revealed she is constantly plagued with scam emails and texts.
She’s shared how she is being targeted on a weekly by the scammers.
Opening up about the toll its taking on her, she said: “I will get an email, phone call or text at least once a week trying to tempt me into some scam.”
She continued to tell The Mirror: “They could well be algorithms but there are ones that will say things like ‘I’ve got loads of money, can you give me your bank details so I can put it in there.’
“Then there are others like ‘Can you move all your money into this account so we can save your current account’.”
As a result Louise has become hyper vigilant, especially after a close friend was scammed out of a whopping £20,000.
She revealed how she questioned the BBC when they asked for her bank details to pay her royalties from repeats of shows she’s featured in.
“The BBC have changed their method of paying you royalties and they required me to give my bank details even though they already had them on another form.
“I absolutely refused to do it. They had to jump through hoops to persuade me it was the correct way to get royalties. I won’t give away anything unless I am face-to-face in the actual building.”
HOAR previously revealed how the former Doctor Who actress has had her Emmerdale contract renewed.
The new deal means viewers will see Mary on screen until at least the start of 2024.
She’s made a big impression since arriving on the Dales last year as Rhona’s mother, featuring in a huge storyline which saw her character reveal she’s a late-life lesbian.
Speaking about signing her new Emmerdale deal, she said: “I’ve just signed for another year.
“So I’m definitely there until January 2024. In my head I’m thinking maybe a couple of years after that, maybe a three or four year stint.
“But there are people here who have been here 25 years going, ‘Yeah, I said that at the beginning.’ But who knows? They’re such a lovely bunch, who knows?”
