Talking about her Hollyoaks appearance, Yasmin said: “I’ve absolutely loved being a part of the Brookside and Laters episodes.
“There has been such a nostalgic energy on set, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it all come together to celebrate 30 years of Hollyoaks.”

She also played Suranne Jones’s daughter in Maryland. Yasmin is also about to start a BA course at the prestigious drama school RADA.
Talking about working with Yasmin, BAFTA winning director Martin Smith said: “Yasmin is such an exciting actor and a joy to have on set.
“I directed her in the upcoming series of Silent Witness in a challenging role that she embraced and shone in.
“A delight to work with, she is a real livewire and a talent to keep an eye out for.
