Emmerdale star ‘couldn’t stay in England’ after devastating break-up
EXCLUSIVE: One ITV soap star confessed she couldn't face staying in the UK after a heartbreak, so she fled to the States instead.
An Emmerdale star was left so devastated by a break-up she could no longer face staying in England – so she fled to the US instead.
Twinnie-Lee Moore is known for her role as fight club organiser Jade Garrick in the ITV soap, who arranged bouts between Ross Barton and Billy Fletcher when the former returned to the village.
In real life, Twinnie is a country singer who released her latest album, Something We Used to Say, last year, and is about to head out on a headline tour.
But she was left so devastated by the break-up that inspired her 2023 release Blue Hour that she couldn’t face staying in Yorkshire, where she grew up.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Twinnie explained: “I had a big push to come to America because I felt like I couldn’t stay in England anymore because, if you listen to my album, I went through a massive breakup and everything reminded me of him. I couldn’t be there anymore.

“I was kind of done anyway and I wanted to be in Nashville. Then when I came here I was like, ‘If I can do it, anyone can do it.’”
She was so affected by the split that she even stopped listening to music, confessing: “I went through a really tough break-up and I did isolate myself a lot. I didn’t really listen to music – I tried to write music as much as possible, because that was helping.”

The star even had to say goodbye to her beloved pooch Sunny, who is currently living in England with her mum.
She explained: “I had my dog, so it wasn’t that difficult. But I had to take my dog back when I started getting busier, to my mum’s about six months ago, so I don’t think I’m getting my dog back which is unfortunate, I was going to bring him back. My dog Sunny, he’s the best thing ever.”
