Amelia Flanagan first appeared on Emmerdale as April Windsor at the age of five.
The actress, 13, who plays the late Donna Windsor and Marlon Dingle's daughter has picked up plenty of gongs for her portrayal of April over the eight years she's been on the show.
In 2015 she was The British Soap Awards' Best Young Performance and has also been named as Best Young Actor at the Inside Soap Awards for three years in a row.
Coming from an acting family, its no wonder Amelia has been such a hit with viewers.
She was born in Leeds and is the eldest of three siblings.
Her younger twin siblings, Isabella and William, have been playing the roles of cousins Hope Stape and Joseph Brown in Coronation Street since 2017.
Her mum, Rachel, often takes to Instagram to share snaps of the siblings who she is proud of.
Her Instagram bio reads: “Mum to our three. Amelia plays April Windsor in Emmerdale, William and Isabella play Hope Stape and Joseph Brown in Coronation street.”
Isabella previously revealed it was Amelia who inspired her to get into acting and said: "I've wanted to be on TV for a long time, my sister has been in Emmerdale since she was five and I love watching her.”
In March, on the family Instagram account, Rachel posted a sweet picture of Amelia to mark eight years of her time in Emmerdale.
The picture of Amelia smiling into the camera while holding a cake with a sheep on the front was captioned: “Eight years ago she made her first appearance in a little village in the Yorkshire dales.”
Earlier this year there was a picture of the three siblings posing at the theatre.
Amelia dressed in jeans and a cardigan while her siblings kept it casual in a jumper and jeans.
To celebrate Christmas last year, Amelia posed in front of her family tree in a marble print dress and denim jacket.
Her proud parents showed off their children with a host of framed photographs dotted around their living room.
In her time on Emmerdale April has faced a lot including the death of her mother and a bullying scandal.
