Emmerdale's Dawn Taylor actress Olivia Bromley's surprising off-screen career

Emmerdale star Olivia Bromley is best known for her role as Dawn Taylor on the ITV soap.

The actress joined the soap in April 2018 as part of a storyline but it was announced shortly after in the December that Olivia had been promoted to a regular cast member after she was an instant hit with fans.

But now she is launching an exciting new career in an off-screen side hustle.

When she isn't falling in love with Billy Fletcher or being threatened by the village's murderer, Meena Jutla, the actress' real life is like a different universe.

Multi-talented Olivia is also a musician - she plays the violin and piano and even sings.

The performer fronts the London five-piece band Damsen, providing them with 'hazy' vocals.

They have recorded songs including Something Good and This Isn’t Love which feature a downtempo rhythm and sleek guitar riffs.

She previously admitted to The Mirror that she isn't the only person on the Dales to have a hidden musical talent, as she admired the hidden pipes of Dean Andrews, who plays her on-screen father.

She said: "I suppose we’re like the Von Trapps. He’s a fantastic singer. We have an Emmerdale band that various cast members sing in, but because of Covid we haven’t been able to do any gigs."
