ITV Emmerdale's Meena star Paige Sandhu confirms exit with two lives at risk

Emmerdale's Paige Sandhu has confirmed that her character's time in the village is almost up.

The actress appeared on This Morning on Wednesday as menacing Meena Jutla targets more victims in the ITV soap.

Viewers have been watching the character for months as she manipulated - and killed - residents in the Dales.

But her evil crimes finally came to light last month after she was caught keeping her sister Manpreet Sharma and Vinny Dingle hostage.

However, the former nurse managed to get away and has only returned after discovering former flame Billy Fletcher was marrying Dawn Taylor on Valentine's Day.

During the latest episode, Emmerdale fans watched as Meena kidnapped the newlyweds and took them to a viaduct where it was up to Billy to decide whether he or his new wife would survive.

But nothing ever goes to plan in soapland and Meena ended up shooting Leyla Cavanagh who had gone out to find the bride and groom.

And just as Meena appeared ready to kill Dawn, she fought back and knock Meena to the ground before throwing a few punches.

She soon stopped, however, when a laughing Meena told her that if she died, Dawn would never see her son again as it was revealed she had attacked Harriet and took Lucas.

When Alison Hammond asked if Meena will meet her fate, Paige told her and co-host Dermot O'Leary "There are two people's lives who hang in the balance, I'm sorry to say.

"And I can say this is the beginning of the end for Meena but there's more drama to come!"

She reiterated: "The beginning of the end."

Which didn't make Dermot look too happy as he sat with his pen in his mouth.

Describing her character Paige, who joined the soap in 2020, said; "She's crazy she's wild she's intense, she's charismatic."

But she revealed that she didn't know what was in store for her character when she first arrived in the Dales.

And soap fans and This Morning viewers were quick to praise Paige for her creepy portrayal.

@RyanGTweetsTV tweeted: "Meena has to be one of the best soap baddies of all time. She's such a complex and deranged character. Paige plays her so well. #Emmerdale #ThisMorning."
