Emmerdale star’s launch event for exciting career away from acting

Emmerdale fans can see a star away from acting as she takes a major step in their career.

Jessie Elland, who is known to millions of Emmerdale fans as Chloe Harris, is embarking on an exciting career move away from acting. As we’ve previously reported, Jessie has worked to release her first novel.

She has been offering regular updates on her book The Ladie Upstairs in recent months. On Instagram, Jessie, who left Emmerdale in 2023, updated fans about a launch event happening at Linghams bookshop on Wednesday, May 28.

“We are extremely excited about our upcoming event with debut author Jessie Elland,” they posted on Instagram. “Jessie Elland’s deeply visceral debut is a dark and twisted tale of ambition and desire.”

We’ve previously chatted to the former Emmerdale star about her book. She told us: “It is a gothic thriller, horror adjacent, about a servant who works in this grand mysterious supernatural house. It is about her relationship with the lady upstairs and how that develops and grows into something twisted.”

Jessie added: “I really enjoyed writing it. I’ve always been a big reader and writing is something that I’ve always wanted to do so it was fun just to write for me. To think it is going to be out in the world and people are going to get to read it and maybe enjoy it is a really, really special feeling.”
