She was part of the soap for 11 years
Fiona Wade, 44, played Priya Sharma in Emmerdale for 11 years, and left the show at the start of 2023. Speaking to Hello!, the acting star has opened up on where she’d like her career to go next.
Fiona said: “I've always been ambitious, and I like to step out of my comfort zone, even if it's terrifying. Fear is okay. It is what you do with it that counts. I believe you should look back and know you have lived your life to the full.”Fiona has admitted she’d love to appear in a period drama. Something she felt was previously unlikely for her.
“In the past, I would have said period drama would have been out of the question for me, because of my ethnicity,” Fiona, whose mother came to the UK from the Philippines in the 1970s, explained.
