ITV Emmerdale Amelia Spencer star's real age has Ranvir Singh taken aback

Daisy Campbell wowed Ranvir Singh as she shared her real age.

The soap star is renowned for her role as Amelia Spencer in Emmerdale. The character is currently enduring a turbulent time in the fictional Yorkshire village after she discovered she was pregnant.

Amelia is now considering an abortion and she spoke to Ranvir on today's edition of Lorraine about how the harrowing storyline was initially conceived by her and onscreen dad, Liam Fox. She said: "We had this idea for a story in our head and we just pitched it to the producers."

Daisy said she was "proud" as the storyline has led to her getting involved with ITV's mental health campaign, Britain Get Talking. She said: "[Amelia] has got this whole vulnerable side coming out of her with this storyline and there's so much anxiety building up inside her.

"She's only 15 and she's got nobody to speak to so I think it really ties in well with the campaign." She added: "I wanted this storyline to do justice to young teen mums.

"They're so amazing and I've had loads of messages from them. I'm doing this for them."

Ranvir was impressed as Daisy revealed she is older than her on-screen character. The soap star said: "I'm 18, but I turn 19 on Thursday. I'm filming on my birthday but I'm going to be go out for a meal and then I'm going for a drink with my friends."

Ranvir praised Daisy's maturity as she said: "You've got a wise head on young shoulders."
