After 13 years, Daisy Campbell is saying goodbye to her role as Amelia Spencer on Emmerdale. In a recent interview, she opened up about her upcoming exit, revealing that she has been going through a grieving process.
Daisy has played Amelia since she was just seven years old, so it's no surprise that leaving the show has been an emotional experience for her. Her departure will coincide with the conclusion of Belle Dingle's abuse storyline, as her abuser Tom King finally faces justice.
"It feels really sad," Daisy shared with Metro. "It's mixed emotions, really. This past year has been tough, and I've had to deal with a lot, but I was at peace with leaving because I've already gone through the grieving process."
Leaving the show is a bittersweet moment for Daisy, as she has spent her entire acting career playing Amelia. However, she is also excited for the future and the possibilities that lie ahead for her.
"I'm not only grieving for myself, but also for the character that I've played for so long," she said. "But at the same time, it's nice to close this chapter and be at peace. I've allowed it to play out as it has this year."
Daisy is looking forward to what's next for her in the acting world. She expressed a desire to "carry on" with her career and see what new opportunities come her way.
"I'm really excited to see what comes my way and what opportunities arise," she said. "It's the perfect age for me to leave and find out what else is out there."
Amelia has been a major part of the Belle and Tom abuse storyline, and Daisy is grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an important and impactful storyline.
"I just want to see what I'm like on another set. I don't know what that's like," she said. "This is all I've ever known. So, next year will be the year to really push myself, which I'm really looking forward to. I'm really open to doing anything."
In addition to acting, Daisy also has her sights set on appearing on Strictly Come Dancing next year. As a dancer since the age of three, she would love to learn new styles of dance and show off her skills on the popular competition show.
During her last day on set, Daisy made sure to take some mementos with her to remember her time on the show. She joked that she took her character's name coat and all of her costumes, because no one else will be wearing them.
Emmerdale fans can catch Daisy's final episodes as Amelia on weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1. And if you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, be sure to reach out to the team via email. Don't forget to leave a comment below and stay updated on all things soaps on our homepage.
