Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell teases exciting future after soap exit
Daisy Campbell, known to millions of Emmerdale viewers as Amelia Spencer, has revealed that her career is taking an exciting new direction following her departure from the long-running ITV soap in December last year. The young actress, who had played Amelia since she was just seven years old, exited the show after an impressive 13-year run, marking the end of an era for one of the soap’s most beloved young characters.
Her final scenes aired late last year, with Amelia deciding to leave the village and start a new life in Leicester with her biological father, Daz Spencer. This decision followed a turbulent time in her storyline, including her entanglement with Tom King and his manipulative behavior, which created turmoil in her personal life and led her to reassess her future.
Now, several months after her onscreen farewell, Daisy has broken her silence about what she’s been up to—and fans have every reason to be excited. During a recent Instagram Q&A session with followers, the 20-year-old star shared that the past five months have been filled with new experiences, growth, and opportunities. Though she was careful not to reveal too much, Daisy’s tone was unmistakably enthusiastic.
“So much stuff has been going on over the past five months and it’s so exciting!” she wrote on her Instagram Story, clearly brimming with energy and optimism. “Got so much stuff to look forward to for the rest of the year and it’s something I’m super proud of. I’ve definitely pushed myself so much this year so far. Can’t say too much yet.”
Her statement has fueled speculation among fans and media outlets alike. While she didn’t drop any specific details about upcoming roles or projects, the emphasis on pride and personal growth suggests that Daisy may be exploring work that challenges her in new ways—potentially stepping beyond the soap opera genre and into fresh creative territory.
Daisy had previously hinted at her ambition to pursue new acting challenges after leaving Emmerdale. In an earlier interview, she reflected on her journey as a child star and how her perspective on acting has matured over time.
“I think from being here as a kid you don’t really take it seriously – I just fell into this,” she admitted. “But when I turned 13, I decided that this was something I really wanted to do.”
That turning point appears to have laid the foundation for what’s next. Daisy’s departure from the soap was not simply a break from routine—it was a deliberate step toward something bigger. She added, “Since I found out I was leaving, my determination for acting is just so much bigger now. There’s so much I want to do.”
Indeed, fans have long recognized Daisy’s talent and potential, watching her grow not only in age but also in her abilities as a performer. From storylines involving teen motherhood, family breakdowns, and personal trauma, Amelia’s journey on Emmerdale gave Daisy the chance to portray complex emotions and mature themes—earning her both acclaim and a loyal fan base.
As of now, Daisy hasn’t officially announced her next role, but industry watchers believe she could be a strong candidate for roles in drama series, films, or even theatre. With her years of experience on a high-profile soap and a renewed passion for acting, she brings both familiarity and freshness—qualities that casting directors often seek.
Moreover, her active presence on social media continues to keep fans engaged. From behind-the-scenes glimpses to honest reflections on her journey, Daisy has shown that she’s not just a performer but also a relatable young woman navigating life, change, and ambition.
Meanwhile, in the world of Emmerdale, the absence of Amelia has left a noticeable gap. Her departure came at a time when Tom King’s manipulations were being exposed, with viewers watching as Amelia, Nicola King, and others were caught in the emotional crossfire. Amelia’s choice to leave the village, while painful for her loved ones, felt like a moment of empowerment—choosing her own well-being and future over continued chaos.
As for what lies ahead, Daisy’s fans will have to remain patient—but it’s clear that she’s working on something significant. Whether she appears next on stage, in a new drama, or even in a completely different creative space, one thing is certain: Daisy Campbell is just getting started.
Keep an eye on her Instagram and entertainment news outlets for updates, because 2025 may be a breakout year for the actress who spent her formative years growing up in front of the nation. With drive, experience, and a desire to keep evolving, Daisy’s next chapter is one to watch.
