The former soap star - who played Tricia Dingle from 1998 to 2004 - quit the soap 15 years ago to focus on her family with husband Harry Kewell, and while she loves keeping in touch with her former co-stars, her kids keep her busy.

Appearing on ITV's 'Lorraine', she said: "Yeah, I do miss it. I'm still in touch with all my pals from 'Emmerdale'. I went to see my friend Charley Webb the other day, who's just had a baby.

"So I keep in touch with everybody, but I feel like my kids are my little gang. They keep me so busy, so I still have that."

Charley and her husband and Matthew Wolfenden - who also stars in the soap - welcomed their third baby into the world last month.

She previously called for Sheree - who has 18-year-old son Taylor, daughters Ruby, 15, Matilda, 11, and seven-year-old Dolly with retired footballer Harry - to make a comeback to the ITV show.

The pair are best friends, and Charley was disappointed that her pal's alter-ego was bumped off after part of the Woolpack fell on top of her during a huge storm in 2004.

When asked which 'Emmerdale' star she would like to see back on the show, she replied: "Sheree Murphy. Sheree is my best friend, but the character of Tricia was amazing, and they should never have killed her."

Sheree has claimed in the past she would be well up for a role in 'EastEnders' or 'Coronation Street' to complete a soaps quartet after she also appeared in 'Hollyoaks' and 'Neighbours'.

She admitted: "I'd love to do another soap although the only ones left for me to be in are 'Corrie' and 'EastEnders'. I've done 'Hollyoaks', 'Neighbours' and, of course, 'Emmerdale.' "
