Daisy Campbell has played Amelia Spencer in Emmerdale since she was just eight years old - but now show bosses have called time on her character, in a shock move that left the star 'grieving'
Emmerdale 's Daisy Campbell is set to depart the show after an impressive 13-year stint, as producers have decided to write out her character, leaving the actress "grieving" over the unexpected exit.
"Once they explained, I totally got it," Daisy remarked. "Amelia isn't part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn't have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.", reports the Mirror.
Five months on, Daisy acknowledges feeling grateful that it was Emmerdale's decision for her to leave rather than struggling with the decision herself. The actress hints that her departure will be closely tied to her character's tumultuous on-screen relationship with the villainous Tom. After Belle bravely ended their marriage in September due to a harrowing period of coercive control and domestic violence, Tom quickly found solace with an unsuspecting Amelia.On Bonfire night next Tuesday, Amelia will begin to perceive Tom in a new light, Daisy teases.

"I will be forever grateful for my whole time spent in Emmerdale," she declares. "It's been amazing to learn from people who have been in the industry for years and I will take all their advice with me. I have made so many friends on set and I am going to miss everyone. But I feel lucky to have grown up on the soap. I have never felt I have missed out at all.""She told me to always stay grounded and never let my head get big," Daisy confides.
