ITV Emmerdale Amelia Spencer star ‘set for rival soap stint’ after heartbreaking axe
Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell could be set for an exciting new chapter after being axed from the ITV soap.
Emmerdale’s Daisy Campbell might be heading to a competing soap after her surprising departure from the show.
The star became a household name as Amelia Spencer on the ITV soap, making her debut in 2011. Throughout the years, she has been at the centre of numerous dramatic storylines.
Currently, her character is entangled with villainous Tom King (James Chase), who previously abused his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) a storyline that saw Belle eventually leave him.
However, in a twist last October, Emmerdale producers decided to write out Amelia, a move that left Daisy, aged 21, reeling from the decision. She told the Mirror: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first.”
Daisy expressed her feelings about the exit: “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.”, reports Leeds Live.

However, she did confirm that Amelia will not meet a fatal end, saying: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.”
A PR expert has since highlighted this period as an “exciting next chapter in her career” and hinted that Daisy could soon land a part on another soap. Dom Aldworth, Head of Brand Marketing at Slingo, suggested that a move to another British soap could be a natural progression for Amelia.
He said: “Moving to another British soap is a natural fit, especially if she wants to keep building on the fanbase she’s grown” He proposed Hollyoaks as an ideal choice due to its “youthful” nature and “high-energy storylines would give her room to dive into an edgier, more complex role”, which would allow her to explore an edgier, more complex role.

He also mentioned Coronation Street as a potential option, stating: “Coronation Street’ might be another great option, letting her join an iconic family or bring new drama to the cobbles.”
Furthermore, he suggested EastEnders as a possibility, where Amelia could delve into hard-hitting social issues and emotional narratives. He added: “Or, she could even bring her intensity to ‘EastEnders’, where she’d get to explore more of the hard-hitting social issues and emotional narratives the show is known for.”
However, Dom didn’t rule out the possibility of Amelia stepping away from soaps altogether. He noted: “Maybe taking on drama series or even trying her hand at theatre to showcase new sides of her talent.”
