Adele Silva is making a shock return to Emmerdale after a three year absence, it has been revealed.

The actress, who has played Kelly Windsor on-and-off since 1993, left in 2007 to try her luck over in the States; but after failing to do so, she plans to return to the role that made her a household name.

KellyÂ’s departure came when her husband-to-be Jimmy King left her at the altar after discovering she had aborted their unborn child to pursue a modelling career.

Her return could see the start of a battle of the bitches, as Jimmy is now married to Nicola and has a daughter, Angelica.

Adele said: “I absolutely loved playing Kelly. She’s going to be three years older but probably not three years wiser!

“Whenever Kelly is around she’s always caught up in something which makes her a lot of fun.

“I’m really looking forward to working with the new, talented cast as well as catching up with old friends. The chance to come back was just too good an opportunity to turn down.”

Adele will make her return to the soap next year.
