She added: “I love you all so much, you know who you are. The most bizarre and wonderful place to have grown up. I’m gonna miss it so much.

“On to the next!”

Emmerdale delivered tragedy and heartache on Wednesday (October 19), as Liv died following an accident during the deadly storm.

Fans were already reeling from the death of Harriet Finch as the show upped the ante for its 50th birthday.

However when Liv tragically died after being crushed by a caravan in the village, viewers were bereft.
