    Daisy Campbell reveals reality tv career hopes amid soap exit

    Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has revealed what she hopes to do after she leaves the soap this year. Speaking about her upcoming exit, the actor has revealed how she hopes to take part in one of the BBC’s biggest reality TV shows.

    It was revealed earlier this year thar Daisy, who plays Amelia Spencer on the soap, has been axed. She will exit the dales in scenes airing over Christmas – following Amelia’s part in Tom’s abusing wife Belle.

    Recent scenes saw Amelia learn the truth about boyfriend Tom. This came as she finally realised that he was responsible for the abuse and coercive control of wife Belle.

    Until now, Amelia had believed all of Tom’s lies, including his claims that Belle had been the real monster in their relationship.

    Amelia sees the truth as Tom is exposed

    Tom’s carefully stacked house of cards all came crashing down when the police managed to recover evidence from Tom’s tablet. And this all backed up Belle’s version of events.

    As Tom attempted to flee, Amelia realised he hadn’t been entirely honest with her. In the Woolpack, she revealed how he’d fled the country. Thankfully, Belle had other plans – and the police arrested Tom, fake passport in hand.

    With Daisy’s exit scenes as Amelia due to air in the coming weeks, she’s already spoken out on what she hopes to do next.

    Daisy Campbell reveals plans after Emmerdale exit

    Speaking on her plans for the future, Daisy said: “There’s so much I want to do. I really want to do Strictly, like that’s one thing I really want to do next year because I’m a dancer. I’ve always danced. I’ve danced since I was three and I don’t know how to do the Salsa or anything so I think that would be really cool to learn.”

    On the possibility of entering the jungle to take part in I’m A Celebrity, Daisy revealed: “I’d really like to do it, I think it’d be fun because obviously you just don’t know how you’d be in there because you just have to really push yourself down to what you’re eating and everything.

    “But Strictly’s my one, because I just know that I would really, really enjoy the experience from dancing as a kid and everything.”

    Daisy is no stranger to reality TV, having appeared as a panelist on the Big Brother spin-off Late & Live last month.

    But will Daisy’s post-Emmerdale dreams come true?

  • From surprise leaving bash to set souvenirs, inside Daisy Campbell’s last days at Emmerdale following axe

    From surprise leaving bash to set souvenirs, inside Daisy Campbell’s last days at Emmerdale following axe

    For Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell, she shocked fans in October when she revealed she had been axed from the show, after 13 years.

    Daisy has played long-standing Amelia Spencer since she was eight years old. Now, at the age of 21, she is leaving the show.

    At the time of the announcement Daisy revealed it wasn’t her choice to leave. One day she found herself being called in to a confidential meeting, and was told Amelia’s time in the village would end just before Christmas.

    She decided to not tell anyone the news for a while, as she processed it herself. But now that it’s out in the world, she’s looking to the future.

    Having been such a huge part of the show for so long, it’s no shock that Daisy found herself being surprised by a party set up by her friends.

    So here’s what she had to say about her last days on Emmerdale.

    Emmerdale Daisy Campbell on leaving

    13 years is a long time to be anywhere, so over the years, Daisy had accumulated a lot of memories in the form of souvenirs.

    Daisy admitted that she did actually take some away with her. She said: “On our jackets, we have our names on the back. So I took mine because no-one is going to be wearing my name.”

    But she didn’t stop there, as she confessed her ‘love’ for Amelia’s clothing meant she ‘took all of Amelia’s jackets.’

    For Daisy, she admits Emmerdale ‘is all she has ever known,’ so looking to the future is something that ‘excites’ her.

    “I think it’s a perfect age to leave”, she explained. “I’ve got no responsibilities so I can do what I want. I’m really excited to see what comes my way and what opportunities arise.”

    In terms of what she would like to do next, Daisy just wants ‘a challenge,’  admitting she wants to see what she will ‘be like on another set.’

    When it came to a leaving party, her friends and co-stars Katie and Rosie (Sarah and Gabby) were the brains behind the event.

    Daisy Campbell’s leaving party

    She explained: “They surprised me. I didn’t know where it was so anytime the cast would speak to me about it I was like ‘don’t tell me because I don’t know where it is.’

    “It was the day after I finished and wrapped. It was a really lovely night.”

    The night involved drinks, dancing and all round good fun. And for the Emmerdale star, she just enjoyed seeing everyone there.

    Something which everyone would expect to be a hugely emotional time is filming the final scenes. But by the time it came to the end, Daisy was no longer crying that much.

    The filming schedule could be partly the cause of that, as the 21-year-old explained.

    “We film in two week blocks, so the first week was really emotional. Mark Jordan (Daz) comes back. It was lovely to see him again.

    “On my last week I felt fine. I didn’t really cry that much. I was actually proud of myself.”

    But one person who brought the tears out, was Laura Norton (Kerry). Daisy confessed that because Laura is ‘really good at doing emotions,’ she finds, “when she cries I cry.”

    Amelia has been part of some huge storylines over the last 13 years. And most recently involved in the Tom and Belle storyline. So when her exit airs, it’s safe to say she will be missed.

  • Daisy Campbell defends naïve Amelia Spencer’s relationship with Tom amid fan backlash for her character

    Daisy Campbell defends naïve Amelia Spencer’s relationship with Tom amid fan backlash for her character

    Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has defended ‘naive’ Amelia amid her controversial relationship with village abuser Tom King.

    Along with his uncle Jimmy, Amelia has been one of Tom’s few defenders, even as the net closed in on him and his lies.

    It all came crashing down for Tom recently (Thursday, November 28), as DS Foy arrested Tom while he tried to flee the country.

    Belle had managed to turn the tables on Tom, sneaking her phone into his bag as he gloated and threatened her. She then told the police, who tracked the device and arrested him at the ferry port.

    By now, the evidence is overwhelming – and not even Jimmy or Amelia can turn a blind eye anymore.

    Star Daisy has revealed her own thoughts on the situation. When asked whether she thinks Amelia would know better, she said: “I think she would. I’ve had a lot of comments off people saying your character’s so annoying at the minute because she’s not seeing Tom for who he is.

    “But, I think people forget that it’s a story we’re trying to tell. He’s such a manipulator. He knows what he’s doing, and obviously he’s done it with Belle so he can do it to someone else.

    She added: “Because Amelia’s so much younger, she’s only 18, she is very vulnerable.”

    Hitting back at fan comments, Daisy said: “It frustrates me because I’m like this is the story. This is how it is. This is real life. But it does frustrate me in some areas because I’m like oh come on Amelia, you’ve got a kid now, he’s older, come on, get the cogs turning because she should know.”

    Amelia to leave Emmerdale as the Tom faces justice

    The truth is out now – but what’s next for Amelia? Daisy revealed earlier this year that she had been axed from the soap during a meeting with producers.

    Amelia is expected to leave at Christmas – as the soap wraps up Tom and Belle’s story for good.

    It’s now been revealed that Amelia will leave the village with Daz Spencer in upcoming scenes.

  • Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?

    It has been announced that Daisy Campbell will exit Emmerdale as Amelia Spencer at Christmas, but we don’t know how she will leave yet. Daisy has admitted in an interview that she was told the news earlier this year, but the choice to leave was not hers.

    Speaking to The Mirror Daisy admitted: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first. Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting. Once they explained, I totally got it.

    “Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”

    Speculation began a while ago over how Amelia will leave and with the scenes airing very soon (yes, Christmas really is just around the corner!) her exit will be upon us before we know it. But are scenes in Monday November 25’s episode setting up her exit storyline?

    Tom suggests moving away to Amelia in Emmerdale

    As Amelia remains smitten with Tom and constantly looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles, Tom manages to charm her again tonight. He pretends he’s really into God too and they pray together. He then suggests he’d like to put a ring on it, before bringing up the idea of moving away from the village to start their life together.

    Could this be her exit from the soap? Will Amelia leave to start again with Tom? Is that how he goes too?

    After so much tragedy in her young life, will Amelia leave on a high and get her happy ending? Or will there be more trauma ahead? Here are all the theories on her exit.

    1. Tom to kill Amelia?

    Okay, so Daisy has ruled out Amelia dying with her comments to The Mirror: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.” However, could this just be a red herring? It wouldn’t be the first time the soap has tricked fans…

    Things are getting so tense between her and Tom right now and next week will mark a turning point as Amelia starts to see his true colours. He lashes out at her during a bonfire night outing and it’s enough to make Amelia stop and think.

    Plus, we’ve already had scenes of Amelia’s death when Belle imagined her different futures. They were particularly harrowing, but was this foreshadowing what’s to come?

    Some fans certainly seem to think so with many commenting on social media: “Tom will do something to her.”

    It would also leave Esther to be brought up by her grandparents, Sam and Lydia and we can think of worse things than them having a child to focus on.

    2. Amelia to kill Tom?

    In a twist, could the roles be reversed? Could Amelia be the one to lash out in self-defence and kill Tom? Belle has already attacked him with an axe, but he survived. He also survived an electrocution in Moira’s barn. Will Amelia deal the fatal blow to her abusive boyfriend when it gets too much?

    And if she does, would that send her to prison? Or would she take Esther and go on the run to avoid jail?

    “What if she kills Tom?” wrote one fan. Others agreed they would be happy with this outcome.

    3. Amelia to leave Emmerdale with Tom to start a new life

    We’re really not on board with this theory, but could Amelia fall so far under Tom’s spell they up and leave Emmerdale together?

    Tom has now suggested as such, much to the disgust of Sam Dingle, who has begged the police to stop them. The cops aren’t able to do anything right now as they don’t have enough evidence to act.

    So will Amelia be whisked off to a life of fear and terror? If Tom gets his way, she will do.

    4. Off to uni

    Some fans have speculated that university is in Amelia’s future. She always was a brain box and was expected to achieve great things. But having Esther caused trouble with her schoolwork and she’s struggled to get back on track, working in Mandy’s salon to make ends meet.

    But could all the nasty Tom business cause her to have an epiphany and realise that she does want to make the best of herself? Will she leave to get a better education and put her past behind her?

    5. Amelia to leave Emmerdale and live with her dad

    With the man she thinks of as her dad, Dan, in prison could she leave to live with her uncle-who-is-actually-her-biological-dad, Daz. He’s her only remaining family member, other than her brother Sean, so if she realises what a mess she’s made in the village and needs to cut ties, Daz is the only real person she could turn to.

  • Emmerdale: Amelia will kill Tom as Daisy Campbell leaves the soap, fans predict

    Emmerdale: Amelia will kill Tom as Daisy Campbell leaves the soap, fans predict

    Fans of Emmerdale have theorised that Amelia will be the one to bring Tom’s reign of terror to an end – by killing him. Tom and Amelia’s relationship remains strong, in spite of her witnessing his dark side for the first time last week.

    This came amid an explosive bonfire night for the pair, in which Tom snapped after supposedly being victimised by the Dingles yet again. Realising that they had made a version of him to burn on the village fire, Tom exploded – blaming Amelia for dragging him there in the first place.

    Amelia was left shocked by what she saw in Tom, and immediately began having second thoughts about her man. However, these doubts were short-lived – as a visit from uncle Jimmy soon brought her back around. And, as Tom made his excuses, it seemed as though Amelia was firmly back where he wants her.

    But for how long?

    Emmerdale fans predict  that Amelia will kill Tom

    Fans of the soap have predicted that the worm will eventually turn, and Amelia will kill Tom. Theorising how the story might end, fans took to a Reddit thread to share their theories. And one viewer wondered whether Amelia might be the one who kills Tom – in defence of herself or Belle.

    “Tom will either attack either Belle and Amelia. Amelia will strike back and kill Tom. Afterwards, Amelia will be convicted and sent to prison. Two people gone in one incident. It ends Tom and Belle’s story, and gets rid of Amelia while technically leaving the door open.”

    “Also leaving Esther for Sam and Lydia to raise,” pointed out another fan in the comments below.

    However, others aren’t convinced that this would be the best end to Tom’s story – which many feel has already been reduced to a farce.

    “That wouldn’t be a good message to end this story on. Too much of it has already been sensationalised,” pointed out one fan.

    “I do not even care how they end this exhausting (and exhausted) storyline at this point, as long as the show does finally end it,” said another.

    How will Amelia leave?

    Fans learned earlier this month that actress Daisy Campbell has been axed from the soap. This came at the end of 13 years, with her final scenes due to air at Christmas this year.

    Speaking to The Mirror, Daisy revealed that it had not been her choice to leave; admitting that producers broke the news to her during a meeting.

    How exactly Amelia will be written out remains to be seen – nor whether she’ll be leaving the soap in one piece.

    Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has landed a new role outside of the soap. This follows recent news that Daisy will be leaving the soap after thirteen years of playing Amelia Spencer.

    According to The Mirror, producers told a shocked Daisy that they would be writing Amelia out of the soap during a meeting earlier this year.

    While the soap hasn’t revealed details of Amelia’s exit, Daisy has wasted little time in putting herself out there – appearing on the Big Brother spin-off Late & Live last night (Monday, October 4).

    Daisy showed up on the Big Brother spin-off as a panelist alongside YouTuber Zeze Millz and ex-housemate Henry Southan.

    “All the way from Emmerdale Farm and ready to dish the dirt, it’s Daisy Campbell!” host Will Best exclaimed as he introduced Daisy to the studio audience.

    Together with co-host AJ Odudu, Will and the group went on to discuss the latest happenings from inside the Big Brother house. And Daisy seemed to be in fine spirits indeed – a world away from Emmerdale and Tom’s manipulation.
