Emmerdale star calls for live episode as she reveals 50th anniversary filming secrets

Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell has spilled on big scenes for her character Amelia Spencer during the ITV soap's 50th anniversary episodes.

A storm will rock the Dales in a huge stunt week, with Amelia caught up in the drama as the pregnant teen goes into labour prematurely.

With major stunts, characters in danger and some to be killed off, it's a massive week for the soap, kicking off with a birthday episode on Sunday.

Stranded and alone in a barn, after falling over and failing to get help, Amelia is left fearing for her life and that of her unborn child.

Now, speaking to The Mirror and other press, actress Daisy has revealed all about the moment that leaves Amelia in danger, and spilled on some filming secrets ahead of the big week.

She told us: "It's meant to have been just over the hill of the village. It's meant to be like a five-minute walk from the village because she only gets to a certain point before she goes into labour.

"I felt like we were filming a film, it's my best filming days I've ever done. It didn't feel like Emmerdale.

"They had these sticks screwed into the door and the prop men had to rattle the door, and obviously a lot of the wind did that because we had three massive wind machines outside and we had one inside, and they had to rattle it. It all felt really intense."

Daisy also revealed what it was like filming the live episode 10 years ago, for the 40th anniversary - as she called for bosses to confirm another live episode.

She said: "It was amazing. I can't remember much because I think I was only about eight, it was when I first came into it but it was insane.

"I think I loved it cos it felt like we were doing a show, we had months and months of rehearsals, and it felt like you were just rehearsing for a show.

"Then when it actually came to doing the live it was amazing. I’d definitely do it again."

Whether Amelia will be found in time remains to be seen, as the character remains missing and residents do their best to locate her.

It's also not confirmed if Amelia will definitely give birth, but it is likely as bosses recently revealed a baby would be born during the 50th.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
