Daisy Campbell Speaks Out on Emmerdale Axing as She Prepares Pilates Studio Launch

Following a producer change that ended her 13-year tenure, the 22-year-old is refocusing on a reformer Pilates venture in Pontefract.

Overview

  • Campbell says leaving Emmerdale was not her decision, citing a new producer and a non-renewed contract after years in the role.
  • She describes the exit as feeling like her career was "ripped away" and says she fell into a "dark hole" before reassessing her plans.
  • The actress joined the ITV soap at age seven and portrayed Amelia Spencer from 2011 until her final episodes in 2024.
  • Since departing, she has taken limited acting work, including a one-episode guest role on BBC's Casualty in June, and says acting remains important but secondary for now.
  • She is launching That Pilates Place in Pontefract after qualifying as an instructor, funding the studio with savings and renovating a 200-year-old courthouse with her grandfather.
