A former star of Emmerdale has announced his first major role after leaving the soap.
Jurell Carter recently left the ITV soap earlier this year in order to pursue different projects in his career. Despite filming his final scenes months previously, Jurell’s final stint in the village aired to the public in September as fans were devastated to see him go.
Since then, the star has already landed himself a new career, though it comes in a different format. This is due to the fact that he will not be seen on television, but rather be heard.

The actor revealed in a post he shared to his Instagram followers that he is to become the voice of American cosmetics retailer Sephora. His voiceover work will be used in the business’ Christmas adverts, which are already being aired in the UK and the US.

Sharing one of the adverts commissioned by the beauty empire, Jurell adopts an American accent as he narrates the lives of four characters seen onscreen. He is heard running through their dilemmas, as they do not know what they will get their significant other, or loved one, for the holiday season.
Penning in the caption of the video reels, Jurell beamed with joy as he wrote: “Had the pleasure of voicing the new Sephora Christmas ads.” He then went on to add a Christmas tree and a red heart emoji before tagging his managers and good pals, crediting them for their hard work.

Several of Jurell’s family from the ITV soap were quick to share in the love for his new career move, with co-stars Natalie J. Robb, who plays Moira Barton, and Danny Miller – who plays Aaron Dingle – all rushing to the comment sections with emojis full of love and support. It comes as he continues to forge a new path for his career after leaving Emmerdale behind.
Jurell first joined the Emmerdale family back in 2019, playing the role of Nate Robinson, Cain Dingle’s estranged son. The pair initially were at loggerheads, and things only got worse for Nate as he had an affair with Moira, who had been Cain’s wife.
However, after five years of working as a farmhand, Nate saw it was time to bid farewell to Emmerdale for good, but not without a huge bust up. The storyline saw Nate fall out with dad Cain and his estranged wife Tracey over a breakdown in communication, and proceeded to leave the village to work things out in his head.
While fans remain unsure if there is any malice in his exit, Jurell said it was a pleasure to work on the soap for such a long time. “It’s been a massive chapter of my life and will always hold a special place in my heart,” he said after Nate officially left the village.
“Emmerdale is a big family,” he continued. “From the minute I walked in the building on my first day I was made to feel welcome and wanted and I’ve been truly blessed to be a part of it.”
