Alicya Eyo, a well-known actress from the popular show Emmerdale, recently opened up about her struggles with alcoholism. After leaving the show, she sought help by going to rehab. In a 2021 episode of the Soap from the Box podcast, Alicya shared how she hit rock bottom and lost everything before seeking treatment.
During her time in rehab, the former Bad Girls star was able to understand the root of her addiction. She revealed, "I ended up losing everything, including myself. That was the main thing. So, I went to rehab. They helped me figure out why I was doing what I was doing." It was a difficult journey, but with the help of professionals, Alicya was able to overcome her struggles.
Despite making progress, Alicya faced new challenges when the Coronavirus lockdowns hit. While the first lockdown was manageable, the second one proved to be much harder for her. She shared, "The first lockdown we had, all fine, all good. Then this lockdown has been really difficult for me." Thankfully, she had the support of her loved ones to help her through this tough time.
Alicya played the character of Ruby Haswell on Emmerdale from 2011 to 2015. Her character's untimely death in the show, caused by a helicopter crash, was a shocking and emotional moment for fans. When asked about filming her final scenes, Alicya said, "Playing Ruby's death scenes was quite hard and sad, but I was just so lucky to have such a great director and Laura Norton and Liam Fox there filming with me. I couldn't have wished for it to be any better."
