Emmerdale fans have been left stunned after discovering that Jurell Carter, the actor behind Nate Robinson, recently lent his voice to a high-profile Christmas advertisement.
While his character’s fate remains uncertain in the ITV soap, the talented actor has been making waves outside the Dales, surprising many with his unexpected new role.
Nate Robinson’s Mysterious Exit and Ongoing Storyline
Jurell Carter, 32, stepped away from his role as Nate Robinson in Emmerdale last September, but his character has remained at the center of the drama.
Recent episodes have seen Nate become a key figure in a shocking plotline involving a tragic limousine crash.
The disaster saw the vehicle plunge into a frozen lake, leading to the heartbreaking deaths of Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson),
Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough), and Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi). In her final moments, Amy made a chilling revelation—she had spotted another body beneath the icy water. Though she tried to alert her loved ones, her message was tragically misunderstood before she passed away in the hospital.
While the ITV soap has yet to confirm the identity of the body, many fans believe it belongs to Nate, sparking speculation about his potential murder. But while Nate’s fate remains uncertain in Emmerdale, actor Jurell Carter has been keeping busy with exciting new projects—including a surprising role in a Christmas campaign.
Jurell Carter’s Secret Role in Sephora’s Christmas Advert
Many Emmerdale fans had no idea that Jurell Carter had taken on a voiceover role for a major brand—until he revealed the news himself. In November, the actor took to Instagram to share that he had voiced the Christmas adverts for global beauty retailer Sephora.
The biggest surprise? He delivered the voiceover in an American accent, leaving fans stunned at how different he sounded from his Emmerdale character. Sharing clips from the campaign, Jurell captioned his post:

Fans and followers quickly flooded the comments with their reactions. Many were amazed by how unrecognizable his voice was, with one person writing:
“No way! I’d never have guessed… what a voice!”
Another added:
“This is mad! Sounds nothing like you… love it!”
Some fans even speculated about Jurell’s future in Hollywood, with one commenting:
“Wow, completely different from Nate. Would love to see you on a TV show in the States using your American accent!”
Even Jurell’s former Emmerdale co-stars shared their excitement. Michelle Hardwick (Vanessa Woodfield) commented:
“Amazing! 🙌”
