Who is Georgia Jay?

Georgia Jay is no stranger to the silver screen, as she has made plenty of appearances on several UK shows.

Also known as Georgina Philipp, the star has a pretty low-key life off screen as shown on her social media. She has around 270 followers and frequently shares photos of her modelling around London.

The star is thought to be in her early 20s and her biggest feature so far was for the BBC.

Who will Georgia Jay play on Emmerdale?

ITV have revealed her new character Steph Miligan will inherit both the best (and worst) traits of her parents, including their desire to win over anything else…

Commenting on her joining, Georgia said: “I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I’m very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.”

Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Nicholas and Georgia to Emmerdale as part of the Miligan family. With so much yet to discover about Ruby, the arrival of her father and daughter will unlock her past and see Ruby and Caleb tested in ways we’ve never seen before.

“With two actors of such great calibre, they’re certainly set to make their mark on the Dales.”

We wonder how Ruby will react to the shock arrival, especially so soon after her mother’s death? Will she be welcomed with open arms? Or will Steph reject her parents, who she hasn’t seen for a decade?

What else has Georgia Jay been in?

Georgia currently has three accredited jobs on IMDB, mainly in television.

She is perhaps most known for her role as Dianne Vickers in BBC’s Giri/Haji.

The actress also appeared in Glow & Darkness (2021) and The Devil Sits on Both Shoulders (2018).

Glow & Darkness was a 2021 television historical drama which saw Georgia appear in 7 episodes. She acted alongside legend Joan Collins.

While new to Soapland, Georgia is sure to hit the ground running with a complicated family storyline. What more could you ask for in Emmerdale?

Georgia Jay’s real-life away from Emmerdale

Little is known about Georgia’s life away from Emmerdale, but the British actress is no stranger to sharing photos with her friends.

She shared a few backstage shots back in 2020 during her time working on BBC’s Giri/Haji. Sharing a screenshot of herself wearing a red dress in the show, Georgia penned: “Don’t mess with the one in Red.”

Another time she uploaded a snap in an old fashioned dress and pinned up hair. Hopefully, the star will start sharing some pics from the Dales rather soon…
