'My Type? Strong & Manly!'

Natalie Robbhas been entertaining us for eight years as Emmerdale farmer Moira Barton, and it doesn’t sound like that’s going to change any time soon! The feisty character will live up to her nickname Mucky Moira when she steals a kiss with bad boy ex Cain Dingle. We caught up with Natalie, 42, to chat dating, party tricks and more

Hi Natalie! So Moira locking lips with Cain again...

She’s really lonely. Not many of her family are around and she’s basically just getting up, working and then going to sleep. She has a hiccup with the kitchen waste disposal unit and gets her hair stuck. And guess who walks in? He frees her and they chat for a bit and then Moira makes a pass and kisses him.

It’s a bit out of the blue isn’t it?

It’s a bit naughty! Cain is with vicar Harriet Finch now and Moira really likes Harriet. She’s not intending to hurt anyone, but Mucky Moira is back! She’s a very passionate woman – especially with Cain. You always have that one who has a hold over you with sexual chemistry, don’t you?

Will we see them get back together?

Cain is a bit annoyed and pushes her away. But it’s ignited something in Moira – she’s realised she’s still in love with him, but does Cain feel the same way?

Are you attracted to bad boys?

I like sexy men with brains, rather than bad boys; I’m too old for that now! I like men with something about them, with charisma. That’s more important to me than anything, because that’s what stays with you the longest. If I have a type, it’s strong and manly.

Would you like to settle down one day?
