Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has signed up for another year on the ITV soap.
Daisy has been on the programme for over a decade, starting in 2011 when the character was just six years old. In the recent months, Amelia became a mum at 16 when she welcomed her daughter Esther into the world.
Esther is technically the biological daughter of Samson, but with Noah and Amelia dating, the latter has been taking on the fatherly role with the little girl, whilst blackmailing Noah for more money if he stays away from their new family.
Now Daisy has confirmed she will be on the soap for at least another year, amid theories Samson could be heading for an exit.
Amelia has no doubt got some huge storylines ahead in the coming months with the baby.
She told The Sun: "I'd love to stay on it for as long as I can. I recently signed for another year and couldn’t be happier. But I never take it for granted because you never know when they might kill you off. It can happen to anyone."
Daisy joined the ITV soap when she was young, deciding to give up her performing arts college to join the soap full-time.
"I went to performing arts college after my GCSEs but quickly realised that all I wanted to do was work at Emmerdale full-time, so I decided to give it up. There’s no better experience than working on the job so I decided to make it my priority - and I’ve not looked back," she explained of how she ended up taking on a permanent full-time role on the ITV soap.
Amelia was part of some huge storylines last October to mark the soap's 50th anniversary.
"Filming was very intense," she told The Mirror previously, "I was jogging, I was doing star-jumps in between takes. I needed to be out of breath! I spent weeks researching and practising the scenes.
"I took advice from Rosie Bentham, whose character Gabby had a baby last year. She told me to watch One Born Every Minute. With mine being a teen pregnancy, I wanted to see how differently teens gave birth. I thought they’d be more vulnerable, but we had an advisor on set who said that wasn’t the case. I played on that. If you look back at my internet searches, every one was about teen birth. I’m a pro now! I know to take lots of deep breaths and not to push too hard."
She is hopeful her character can end up being as iconic as Kim Tate.
Daisy added: "I've grown up in a soap so I’ve learned to take each year as it comes. I want to be in Emmerdale as long as I can. I want to make Amelia an iconic character like Kim. I want her to be happy for a little bit but I also want there to be drama and intensity!"
