Emmerdale favourite Alexander Lincoln has landed a role in a major BBC show after leaving the ITV soap.
As Emmerdale fans will know, Alexander Lincoln, 28, played Jamie Tate in the programme. The village bad boy left Emmerdale last year.
We’d previously reported, Jamie, had bagged a part in a film and now he will be back on TV soon in BBC comedy Everything I Know About Love.

Alexander has spoken to Entertainment Focus about the show and his role.
The actor explained: “It’s by the BBC and Working Title, and it’s a six-part comedy miniseries. We saw a little teaser at the wrap party before Christmas. Comedy is always subjective, isn’t it?

“But honestly, it was hilarious, and I cannot wait for everyone to see it. It’s gonna be really awesome.”
Alexander has also opened up about the difference between filming a limited series compared to the intensity of a soap which is a permanent fixture in the TV schedules.
Alexander also revealed how surprised he was at the contrast in filming a comedy compared to the intense world of soaps.
“Soap actors do get a really bad rap but it is one of the most intense jobs I think you can do with acting,” Alexander said.
“It is 10 and 11 hours a day. I shot 19 scenes one day, which is insane. I did this thing recently for the BBC and they would shoot maybe two or three scenes a day, so comparatively, you’re like, ‘oh my god, that’s amazing!’.”
We’ll bring you more on Alexander’s new BBC show when we have further details.
