Daisy Campbell lands Casualty role after Emmerdale axing
Daisy Campbell has joined the cast of Casualty.
The 21-year-old actress was axed from her role as Amelia Spencer on the ITV soap Emmerdale in 2024 after 13 years on the show but will return to the small screen in an episode of the BBC's medical serial on Saturday (28.06.25).
Daisy will play the guest character of Georgina Birch in the programme but details about her alter ego and plot are being kept under wraps until the episode airs this weekend.
The actress was axed from Emmerdale after Amelia was left without any family connections in the village and she admits that she didn't depart the show by choice.
Daisy, who was just seven years old when she was cast in the programme, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It wasn't my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first.
"Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known.
"I've spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting."
Campbell found it emotional filming her final scenes on Emmerdale but admits that she felt "at peace" once her exit played out last December.
She told RadioTimes.com: "It was so sad, I was dreading those last two weeks because I hate crying in front of people if it's not for a scene. It was really, really emotional.
"[In] my second week [of filming] I felt like I had the first week to grieve and in my second week I was like, 'Okay I need to go now'...
"[It was] a whirlwind of emotions, it can be kind of exhausting because one minute you're up and one minute you're down but I feel better now, I feel at peace."
Emmerdale bosses explained to Daisy that they had run out of storylines for her character and she "totally" understood their reasoning.
She said: "Once they [the producers] explained, I totally got it.
"There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that.
"I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age."

Why Katy Perry Is 'Upset But Relieved' About The End Of Her Relationship With Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's love story is officially over after nearly ten years together. The former couple, who share a four-year-old daughter named Daisy, were plagued by split rumors for weeks, with the singer ditching her engagement ring on multiple occasions. Now, according to insiders, the breakup has left Katy Perry "upset" and "relieved" at the same time as she keeps busy with her Lifetimes Tour. Perry and Bloom have finally ended their nearly decade-long relationship. A close source who spoke to Us Weekly noted that the former couple has "split but are amicable." 'It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life," the source continued, referencing the singer's divorce from comedian Russell Brand. The insider further stressed that Perry and Bloom's separation has been 'a long time coming,' noting that the situation between the pair has been 'tense for months.' However, while Perry feels saddened by the end of their relationship, she is said to be "distracted" and 'keeping busy' on her Lifetimes Tour, which she kicked off in April. The confirmation of Perry's split from Bloom comes shortly after it was revealed that she rented out the Montecito home she had fought hard to acquire from an ailing veteran. Perry spent exorbitant legal fees in a bid to secure the mansion in Montecito, California, hoping that it would be the home she would raise her family with Bloom. According to the Daily Mail, the "I Kissed A Girl" singer rented the place out to actor Chris Pratt, as he and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, recently moved into the sprawling estate in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains. "The arrangement suits Chris, but it's a bit of a surprise given how Katy fought tooth and nail to get her hands on the house," a source told the news outlet. "She previously suggested it was the ideal place for her and Orlando to raise a family. After all that time, energy, and money, it seems unthinkable that they are not going to live in it." Pratt is understood to have been in need of a temporary place to stay for himself, his wife, and their three children while they build a new mansion in L.A.'s Brentwood neighborhood. Perry and Bloom's relationship seemed to have been further strained by the singer's decision to go on an all-female trip to space. After the now-infamous 11-minute spaceflight on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spacecraft, Perry had gushed in a radio interview that her fiancé, Bloom, was "all about the journey." However, a source claimed that the opposite was the case, stating that Bloom "did not approve" of it as he never thought "going on the mission was a good idea." Speaking to The U.S. Sun, the insider went further to explain that Bloom "knew she would get backlash" from the mission and was "frustrated" and "disappointed" with her decision to take part in it. "From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face backlash," the source said. "He always thought it was a stupid idea, and she wouldn't get anything positive out of it." Perry and Bloom's relationship had previously faced challenging times, which ultimately led to a split in 2017. Addressing the breakup in a 2024 appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the "Teenage Dreams" singer said both of them "weren't really in it from day one." "He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions," Perry noted, per Page Six. She continued, "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I need to swim in a different pond, but I had to do a lot of real work." Bloom, like Perry, also addressed the difficulties he and the singer faced in their relationship, suggesting that their differing career paths may have contributed to the issues they encountered at the time. "We're in two very different pools [for their work]. Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands," Bloom told Flaunt Magazine. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor continued: "Sometimes things are really, really, really challenging. I won't lie. We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity." "I think we're both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did. And there's definitely never a dull moment," he added. Amid their separation, Bloom is confirmed to be attending Bezos' wedding to Sanchez solo, while Perry forges ahead with her Lifetimes Tour.

Wanted sex offender arrested after staged 'mock wedding' with child at Disneyland Paris
Authorities in France arrested a convicted sex offender who reportedly attempted to stage a "mock wedding" with a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl at Disneyland Paris in which he played the groom. Meaux prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladie said a 39-year-old British man allegedly organized a stunt marriage ceremony on Saturday, June 21, paying Disneyland Paris to hold the event, according to BBC. Around 100 people were hired to be extras in the staged ceremony that cost around €130,000 (over $151,000) so it could be filmed in a private capacity. The young girl arrived in France two days earlier was not harmed in any way and was not forced to play the bride, BBC reported. Staff said she was dressed as a bride, wearing white and having her hair done. A park guest who was hired to play the bride's father alerted staff, who called the police. The suspect reportedly used a stolen Latvian ID and fabricated documents to book the event through Disney, the New York Times reported. He is reportedly being charged with fraud, money laundering and identity theft. Bladier accused the man of wearing professional makeup so he would not appear as himself, BBC reported. 3 others arrested, including child's mother Authorities also arrested three others, including the 41-year-old mother of the child, as well as a 55-year-old Latvian man and a 24-year-old Latvian woman who would have played the bride's sister, BBC reported. Bladier told BBC in a statement that the British man was convicted for previous offenses of a sexual nature against minors and was wanted nationally. It's unclear at what point in the staged ceremony staff interfered, but an investigation is underway, BBC reported. USA TODAY has reached out to Disneyland Paris and Chessy National Police for comment.

A plush checkered blanket that'll match the expensive vibes of Barefoot Dreams for only a fraction of the price. One reviewer said, "This is one of the best purchases I've made!!"
