Emmerdale’s outgoing supervillain Meena Jutla could be about to kill it in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom as actress Paige Sandhu is being hotly tipped to join the BBC1 dance competition for 2022.

Paige has tonight left Emmerdale after being sentenced to life in prison in a dramatic courtroom finale.

Viewers had been waiting to see the twisted nurse finally face justice for her killing spree after she claimed the lives of many of the soap’s villagers in a storyline that seemed like it could go on forever.

She snuffed out her best friend Nadine Butler and even put paid to her own dad before she had even arrived in the village back in 2020.

Meena has since bumped off Leanna Cavanagh, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker.

She has also tried to kill her own sister Manpreet as well as made attempts on the lives of Victoria Sugden, Leyla Harding and Vinny Dingle.

As Paige finally says goodbye to the ITV soap, the bookies are predicting she’ll be back on our screens before too long.

Bookies have the soap star to appear on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing at odds of just 2/1.

Alex Apati, of Ladbrokes, told the Daily Star : “It looks like Paige Sandhu’s next move will take her to the dance floor with Strictly chiefs currently leading the way for her signature.”

Kelvin Fletcher, Gemma Atkinson, Claire King and Lisa Riley have previously made the move from the farm to the Strictly dancelfoor over the years.

Actor Kelvin won Strictly in 2019 with professional dance partner Oti Mabuse.
