The stars face your questions!
“When...?”
“Whatis...?”
“Where...?”
“Who...?”
“Why...?”
“How...?”
They ANSWER!
We know that cult leader Rowan has plenty of secrets to hide. So, it’s a good job that star Emrhys couldn’t be any further from his alter ego when he answers your burning questions!
“Did you know anyone from the Corrie cast before you joined?”
I worked with Jodie [Prenger, aka Glenda] about 15 years ago, when I was a dancer on a series called I’d Do Anything, which Jodie won. She and I got on like a house on fire back then, and it was so nice to be reunited with her. I recently spent the weekend at her amazing home. She’s such a great hostess with her beautiful partner and five dogs, three cats, and chickens! It was inspiring because that’s my dream, to have a big country house filled with lots of love and animals.
“How did you prepare for the role of Rowan?”

“Can you tell us about a time when you’ve been really starstruck?”
I grew up watching James Bond, so when I met Pierce Brosnan on Mamma Mia, I was starstruck. I tried to play it cool, but I don’t know if it worked. I couldn’t really speak because he’s so suave and like James Bond in real life! It was an honour and a pleasure to work with him and the more I got to know him, the less starstruck I felt because he’s such a friendly, down-to-earth person. But when I first met him, I was like, “Oh my god! It’s James Bond!”
“You’ve been in plenty of music videos. If you had to choose a favourite, which would it be?”
It has to be Push The Button [the 2005 Sugababes track]! I grew up watching MTV as a kid, and as a teenager I was obsessed with music videos. I still am – I think they’re such a
