After leaving Emmerdale, actor Matthew Wolfenden gets back together with his former co-star on a new TV show.

Matthew Wolfenden, who is best known for his role as David Metcalfe on the soap opera Emmerdale, has recently announced a new project in collaboration with his former co-star Roxy Shahidi. The two actors, who previously played onscreen exes, will be hosting a new podcast together called Celebrity Side Hustles. In this podcast, they will be discussing what celebrities do outside of their regular day jobs.

While Roxy is still a part of the Emmerdale cast as Leyla Harding, Matthew left the show last year after 18 years of playing David. He shared the news of their collaboration on his Instagram, along with some behind-the-scenes photos of their new logo and editing equipment. Although the launch date for the podcast has not been announced yet, Matthew wrote, "Exciting things are a'coming. Watch this space."

After leaving Emmerdale, Matthew took on the role of Buddy the Elf in a musical adaptation of the popular movie Elf. Talking about his departure from the soap, he revealed that it was a difficult decision to make, especially saying goodbye to his co-star Joe-Warren Plant, who plays Jacob on the show. But he also shared that an amazing opportunity came up, and he couldn't pass it up. "I always wanted to go back to the West End," he said, adding that he's excited to get his "jazz hands back out."

As for Roxy, she recently joined the cast of Dancing on Ice, alongside celebrities like Ryan Thomas and Adele Roberts. Unfortunately, she was eliminated during the Musicals special, alongside comedian Lou Sanders. In the soap world, there are also some exciting things happening, with the likes of an EastEnders legend getting ready to "fight to the death" in upcoming episodes.

It's clear that both actors are moving on to new projects and opportunities, but they are also grateful for the time they spent on Emmerdale. And with their new podcast, fans can look forward to hearing more about the behind-the-scenes lives of their favorite celebrities. Stay tuned for updates on the launch date of Celebrity Side Hustles!
