Emmerdale star Fiona Wade said she 'didn't 'stop crying' as she filmed her exit as Priya Sharma. Her final scenes in the ITV soap hit screens on Friday night (January 27) with Fiona bowing out of the show after 11 years.
Priya arrived in the fictional Yorkshire village in 2009 with her brothers Jai and Nikhil. She was given a job by the pair at their new sweet factory but quit after her brothers make her acting supervisor. She only spent a short time in the Dales, admitting that she was tired of the country life and being bossed about by her siblings and so left the village in a taxi.
However, she returned in 2011 with her parents, Georgia and Rishi, to meet Jai's then-fiancée, Charity Dingle and it is then that Priya also announced that she is staying and moving back in with Jai and Nikhil and the rest, as they say, was history with the character facing all kinds of storylines from her battle with anorexia, to an affair with Pete Barton, the fiancé of her best friend Leyla Cavanagh and being scarred for life in the horror maize maze fire started by serial killer Meena Jutla.
