Anne CharlestonAnne CharlestonNo, not Madonna.

The original Madge - from Neighbours.

Remember Charlene's mum and Harold Bishop's wife?

Well, she isn't coming back to the Aussie soap. Oh no.

Actress Anne Charleston is set to star in our native Dales drama, Emmerdale.

She will play Lily, the estranged sister of sour-faced Edna Birch, played by Shirley Stelfox.

And Anne, who is now based in the UK and Ireland, is thrilled with her new venture because she's a huge fan of the show.

She said: "I am over the moon to be joining one of my favourite soaps and I am delighted to be playing such a fantastic character."

Anne will appear in three episodes to be screened in November, but she may end up staying longer.

Emmerdale series producer Kathleen Beedles said: "We are thrilled to confirm that Anne will be playing the character of Lily.

"Viewers can expect to see sparks fly when Edna and Lily are reunited and we are looking forward to welcoming Anne on set."
