Emmerdale star confirms TV return ‘so soon’ following soap exit after 13 years
Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell last appeared on our screens as Amelia Spencer six months ago, but she has teased a return to TV in a brand new role.
Taking to Instagram, the actress answered a question submitted by one of her 86.5k followers, who wanted to know when she would next be appearing on TV.
‘So soon,’ she revealed, urging her fans to ‘watch out for July’.
While she didn’t confirm exactly what her new role would entail, later stories revealed that she had been doing a lot of work that she was ‘super proud of’ since leaving Emmerdale.
Daisy’s character Amelia left the Emmerdale village with daughter Esther to move to Leicester with dad Daz Spencer in December.
Speaking to Metro ahead of her exit, Amelia revealed the types of projects she was hoping to get stuck into after her departure.
‘I’m really open to doing anything,’ she explained. ‘I’d love to do plays. I’d love to tour. I’d love to do new dramas, films, low-budget stuff, literally anything. I just feel like the world’s my oyster.’
At the beginning of 2025, Daisy teased her involvement in a new drama called Storm, which sees her star as the lead role Lacey Dean.
In a video posted to Instagram, Daisy explained that Lacey is also a child star from a soap opera, but that is where the similarities between character and actress end.
She went on to reveal that Lacey suffered abuse at the hands of a co-star who had previously been accused of a similar crime.

When the co-star is nominated for a lifetime achievement award, Lacey must decide whether to accept the money she is offered to pay tribute to him, or expose his abuse.
The cast is set to be comprised entirely of former soap stars, though no names have been confirmed as of yet.
Could we be set to see this hard-hitting drama on our screens in the coming weeks, or does Daisy have something else up her sleeves as well?
Daisy isn’t the only recently departed soap star to have secured a new role, with Coronation Star Colson Smith having recently revealed his new job on BBC Radio Leeds following character Craig Tinker’s d.e.a.t.h.
