Joelle Rae is reportedly set to replace Sabrina Bartlett in the upcoming season of ITV’s The Larkins.
The 21-year-old actress, who has appeared on Netflix‘s series Get Even and ITV’s Emmerdale, has seemingly bagged the role of the eldest Larkin daughter Mariette in the comedy-drama.
It comes after Sabrina, 30, left the show after it’s first season, with reports of a ‘sensitive disagreement on set’.
‘Joelle is thrilled to have won the part and can’t wait to begin filming later this month.’
ITV and Joelle Rae’s representatives have been contacted by MailOnline for a comment.
The replacement comes as Sabrina’s unexpected departure was thought to be following a ‘sensitive disagreement’.
The Bridgerton actresses publicist confirmed to the Daily Mail that she left the show, citing ‘scheduling clashes’.
But another source said that she was in talks with ITV and had split from the agency who represented her as a result of the disagreement.
The show, which is an adaptation of the classic novel `The Darling Buds of May by H.E. Bate, also stars Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan.
