The 'Emmerdale' actress is keen for her character Moira Dingle's son Adam Barton (Thomas) to head back to the Dales to mix things up in the village following the arrival of Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), who was previously known as her daughter Hannah Barton (Grace Cassidy).

When asked if she would like Adam to return to put a "spanner in the works", she said: "Of course I would."

Natalie has remained pals with Adam following his 'Emmerdale' exit, but admitted his return to the soap doesn't look likely anytime soon after he and wife Caroline Thomas welcomed a daughter, Elsie-Rose, into the world in May.

She added: "What would the show be without spanners? I love Adam to bits, but we're always in touch, we always make sure he's OK, but he's just had another little girl so I think his priorities are somewhere else at the moment."

What's more, Adam has landed his first major role since departing the Dales - by signing up to star in new BBC drama 'Pitching In'.

A post on Creative Artists Management (CAM) Twitter account read: "We can't wait for the new @BBC family drama #PitchingIn! Congratulations to @adamthomas21 who will be on our screens next Spring to show us what a family will do to make the best of a very unusual situation! @bexelliff (sic)"

Adam will appear alongside 'Gavin and Stacey' greats Larry Lamb - who also played Archie Mitchell in 'EastEnders' - and Melanie Walters.
