Former Emmerdale star Charley Webb has been spotted filming a new drama, her first role since leaving the long-running ITV soap earlier this year.
In January, the Debbie Dingle actress, 34, confirmed she’d left Emmerdale for good. She’s teased in recent weeks some exciting new acting roles.
Charley was spotted filming in Leeds this week, for a new ITV drama about the Yorkshire Ripper. The image shows her playing a police officer in the drama which will be set in the 1970s.

Former Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly will star as Peter Sutcliffe’s second victim Emily Jackson, Leeds Live reports. Filming has taken place very close to the home of survive Marcella Claxton.
Some residents were surprised the production company had chosen to film the serial killer drama so close to where she lives. One woman said: "Imagine going for a walk in the streets where you live and seeing a film being made about your attacker’s crimes.”
The Yorkshire Ripper drama is Charley Webb’s first major role since leaving Emmerdale. Charley played Debbie Dingle for nearly two decades before leaving the show.
In March, discussing her career and a return to acting, Charley said: “When the right thing comes to me, I'll be back.” It would appear she’s found a good role to return with.
