Emmerdale star Natalie Ann Jamieson shares behind-the-scenes of underwater stunt
Soap star Natalie Ann Jamieson has released behind-the-scenes footage from her underwater stunt on Emmerdale.
It comes following tense scenes on the ITV show this week as several characters were put in jeopardy when a limo veered off the road and onto a frozen lake. Fans are yet to find out if Amy Barton – played by Natalie, 37 – survives.
Suzy Merton (played by Martelle Edinborough) appeared to die on impact in the crash, whilst there are still concerns for several others. Amy’s fate is yet to be confirmed after she fell into the lake when the ice gave way as she made her way over it. She was briefly trapped under the ice but Tracy Metcalfe (Amy Walsh) broke through and pulled her out.
Viewers last saw Amy and three other characters being taken into the back of ambulances, with it yet to be revealed who has survived. Tuesday’s episode confirmed though that at least one of them has died on their way to hospital.
Following the episode, cast member Natalie shared some footage on TikTok that showed how her underwater scenes were filmed. It began with her telling fans: “Guys, I did some secret behind-the-scenes filming of the underwater stunt I had to do in Emmerdale. Come and have a look at this!”
The footage initially showed Natalie vising a diving centre and she was seen modelling a wetsuit for the experience afterwards. Clips then showed her getting into makeup for filming and posing in costume whilst in a dressing room.
It continued by showing her getting into a swimming pool alongside colleagues in scuba diving gear, which included a camera operator, ahead of filming. Natalie was then seen working on the scenes that would show her character Amy submerged under the ice after falling into the lake.
One clip showed how Amy being trapped beneath the ice had been filmed and the set-up for that. Natalie was seen in a pool with a sheet – that resembled ice – floating nearby. She swam underneath it and pushed against it, with a monitor beside the pool then showing how it resembled Amy pushing up against ice.
Whilst another part of the behind-the-scenes footage released on Tuesday showed how Natalie filmed a scene in which her character moved around in the water and then swam up to the ice above. She was seen using an oxygen tank and supported by a colleague in scuba diving gear before playing out the scene.
Natalie was met with praise from fans over her performance in the stunt in the comments section. One person wrote: “You did brilliantly in the underwater scenes! I bet it wasn’t easy.” She responded to the suggestion: “Thank you!! It was very cold! Hahaha. Great to be a part of though!!”
Emmerdale continues on Wednesday night from 7.30pm on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
