Speaking about joining Casualty, Naomi said: “It’s a huge honour to work on BBC’s Casualty and join the incredible cast and crew here in making one of the UK’s best-loved series.

“I hope you’ll all love Indie as much as I do!”

Meanwhile, Roxane Harvey, Casualty’s executive producer said: “Naomi is an emerging talent who brings depth and authenticity to the role, seamlessly capturing Indie’s determination and drive to prove herself in a demanding environment.

“As Indie navigates her professional journey, viewers will witness her growth as a paramedic and the relationships she forms with colleagues, her boss Jan and patients.”

asualty’s long-awaited new series kicks off on Saturday at 9:20pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

It comes after fans were reduced to tears as the drama’s Christmas special centred around the miracle of blood.

The episode featured real accounts from bereaved family members and those who survived thanks to blood donations.
