Last month, the BBC announced she had been cast in the schooldrama alongside former EastEnders star Paul Nicholls, as husband andwife.
She plays Sian Diamond, a Cambridge graduate who wants to inspirethe pupils through her love of science.
Nicholls was to play her husband, Jez, who wanted to inject newlife into the school's PE department.
But he was replaced after just three days on set for, accordingto The Mirror, allegedly "behaving erratically during filming" andbeing reprimanded twice for being late.
The role of Jez Diamond will now be played by The Bill star AlexWalkinshaw. The re-casting of the role meant that Emma had to re-shoot her scenes with her new co-star last week, on location inRochdale.
