Natalie J Robb has revealed that she was hurt during the filming for next week's Emmerdale car crash stunt.

The actress, who play Moira Barton, explained that she suffered bruised ribs after the filming the scenes with on-screen husband James Thornton (John Barton).

The estranged couple rekindle their love for each other and set off for a night at a hotel.

However, their car hits an ice patch on the road and skids at high speed before falling onto its side.

Robb revealed that parts of the Land Rover crash were filmed inside a mechanism to simulate the effect.

She told the Daily Record: "It went too slow for me.

"I wanted it to go faster. I love the waltzer. James wasn't so keen on it though.

"When you let the harness go it starts to crush you a little bit and felt claustrophobic.

"After the first night I had bruises on my rib cage, so they added padding."

Robb added: "It was spooky to shoot because it was on the moors, dark and the weather was terrible. It gave a really uneasy sense of reality to the whole thing.|
