A vet's surgery! Is there anything sexier? The whining dogs, the smell of cat sick, the possibility of sitting on a hen... and if you live in Emmerdale, the inexpressible delight of meeting receptionist Jo Stiles! Sadly, Emmerdale doesn't exist, and nor does Jo. But the actress who plays her does, and what's more, she likes taking her clothes off! Reality is great! 
I really love a man in uniform...or in overalls, looking like he's got something to do. Maybe with a big tool 
What's an average day like filming Emmerdale?
It's usually an early start, grab a slice of toast and, if I'm being picked up, have a chat with the driver. I look like death in the morning - I sit there with my hood up. Then get hair and make-up done... big hair and bright lips, a big Wonderbra and stilettos; I've never been so dressed up at such an early time in the morning.
And on a farm, too.
I know! And when we're filming in the village it's very hard to walk on the cobbles in heels; I have to grab whoever's nearby for support.
Do crew guys queue up for that?
Yeah! I have fallen on set before, which was embarrassing. I was trying to push a motorbike in these sexy leather pants and it's not the most practical get-up.
Did you actually watch Emmerdale before you were on it?
I didn't watch much TV, to be honest. My great-grandma was a fan, though, so my mum was pleased when I got the part.
Is it filmed near an actual farm?
It's somewhere outside Leeds. We've all got secret maps to get there. It's hidden away so you'd never know it was there.
Is it just over the hill from the Teletubbies set?
Yeah! And also they filmed the Sound Of Music there.What?
No, I'm joking. It's really nice round there, but the drivers have to go at about five miles an hour so they don't run over all the pheasants and rabbits and stuff.
Have you ever milked a cow?
Eurgh, no! God, no, I'd never do that Rebecca-Loos-with-the-pig stuff! I think that's disgusting!
Actually, we just meant, have you milked a cow for milk?
Oh, God! Oh, no... that was the first thing I thought of - that's terrible! No, I wouldn't go near it; I'd rather have my Cornflakes bare than milk a cow. I'm not into touching animals in places like that.
They're only udders...
I'd squeal and fall in the mud.
Like a pig?
I think if I had to have a farm animal for a week, I'd have a pig. I think they're cute. They're little and pink, and it would match my iPod. They get muddy and they've got those little squashy faces.
...and when you get bored - bacon sandwiches!
Oh, nooo! Don't say that. I really fancy a bacon sandwich now.
Do you own a pair of wellies?
No, but I might buy a pair. Little pink ones.
What do you think of fox hunting?
I've always said 'each to their own', but I would never do that. I couldn't kill an animal.
So you've never killed an animal?
Not deliberately. I did by accident once kill a hamster. I fed it a fun-size Mars Bar, and it died. It was a really tragic moment, but I didn't shoot it or anything. And I hit a dog once, but it was OK.
What, you punched it?
No, I accidentally hit it with a car.
Your character works in a vet's surgery. It's not the best place for you, is it?
I think I'd be sacked the first day if I worked in a vet's. I'm too squeamish. I can't even watch ER. When we've had tortoises or dogs on set I'm like, 'eeuurghh!' - I don't like being slobbered on by dogs.If you could neuter one man of your choice, who would it be?
Darren Day, because he doesn't learn from his mistakes. If he thought more with one head than the other, he might not keep getting into trouble. What I really love is a man in a uniform: soldiers, policemen... anyone in overalls, even a window cleaner. A man, in overalls, looking like he's really got something to do. Maybe holding a big tool...
You say you don't mind doing sex scenes - does that include nudity?
Yeah! It's part of the job, really. If no one did sex scenes, it would be an element no one would address on TV. Anyway, it would be quite fun if I had a gorgeous leading man. I'd be well up for it! Though not on Emmerdale, obviously.
What wouldn't you do for a part?
You can't go into parts thinking, 'What wouldn't I do?' I think you have to take everything on. I'll just go for it, even if I'm scared. I'm a bit of a daredevil.
Do you swear when you're scared?
Yeah, I'm like Ozzy Osbourne. It's like I've got Tourette's - I'm like, 'F**king, f**k f**k f**k's sake!' Honestly, it's bad.
What's your favourite swearword?
What's your favourite accent of the British Isles?
I lived in Liverpool for three years, and I like the Scouse accent - I think it's really friendly.
Can you say 'bollocks' in a Liverpool accent?
(In perfect Scouse) Bollocks! Oh, my God, bollocks! (Back to her normal, soft Carlisle accent) You know, I got told off the other day for saying 'wank'. I dropped my phone in the supermarket and I shouted 'wank!' really loudly, and these mums with little kids gave me dirty looks. I don't have any boundaries; you couldn't shock me. I'm not a prude. You can't be.Is it annoying when people inevitably sing The Police to you?
It was always people's dads that would do it when I was younger.
Did you used to wonder why they were singing your name?
Yeah, I did! Then, when I was 16, I listened to what the song was actually about and I thought, 'Well, thanks, mum, for naming me after a hooker.' It's quite a sexy, raunchy name, but I did notice that on Jerry Springer a lot of the lap dancers or transvestites are called Roxanne...
Would you neuter Sting?
No, I think he's wicked!
But isn't tantric sex pointless, or could you go for eight hours?
I could if I met the right guy.
Which hour would be the best?
Probably the last one. I know if a man could go for that long, I'd marry him. You'd have to quit your job - you'd be housebound!
You look very young. Can you get served in pubs?
a member of S Club Juniors. I got asked for ID at a cinema when
I was 18, and it was only a 15 certificate. I was mortified.
What does 'Pallet' mean? Is it French?
Eet ees French eef you want eet to be... my dad's side is Persian and my mum's Italian. I'm like one of those multi-topping pizzas - I've got a bit of everything in me. When my mum wants to be posh she says it's 'Pall-ay'.
Which member of the Emmerdale cast do you think would look the worst in a shoot like this?
Shadrach Dingle. I don't know how he'd feel about wearing lingerie. And I know he wouldn't want this much make-up on. He'd tell everyone to piss off.Emmerdale is on ITV1, 7pm, Sunday to Friday
