ITV Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi swoons as she declares love for former co-star

Emmerdale's Roxy Shahidi gushed as she sent a message to her former co-star.

The soap actress has played Leyla Cavanagh in the ITV show since 2008. The 39-year-old arrived in the Yorkshire village to work at Eric Pollard's factory and soon struck up a relationship with David Metcalfe.

Leyla temporarily exited the programme in 2011, but returned two years later when her onscreen son, Jacob, tried to get back in touch with her. She has since been a mainstay in the soap and remains a key part in the show as she recently split from her onscreen husband, Liam Cavanagh.

Away from the screen, Roxy shares updates from her exciting life with her 77,400 Instagram followers. Roxy shares a close relationship with her fellow soap actors and has taken to the social media platform to issue a tribute to Charley Webb.

The actress is one of the show's most famous faces and is renowned for her role as Debbie Dingle. Charley took to social media to share a snap of the two together in a car.

She said: "Car chats. can't stay next to that face for long, not even brushed my eyebrows."
