Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell on 'difficult subject of abortion' in new campaign

Young Emmerdale actress Daisy Campbell has spoken about the "difficult subject of abortion" as part of a ground-breaking mental health campaign.

Viewers have seen Daisy's character Amelia considering having an abortion after finding out she was pregnant. Following on from an episode that features around her and this storyline, actor Daisy Campbell appeared in a 60-second clip addressing “the difficult subject of abortion" on Tuesday.

It was part of the UK’s most recognised mental health campaign – ITV’s ‘Britain Get Talking’ which returned with the powerful breakthrough moment on Emmerdale aimed at sparking honest conversations about anxiety. Daisy says: “Almost half of all young people in the UK struggle with anxiety. So, whether you’re a teen or an adult, let’s all take a moment to reach out to each other, just to say – we’re here.”
