Emmerdale's Rebecca Sarker, 50, reveals her husband gave her the confidence to post sexier Instagram snaps but admits the one thing she'd NEVER do online
The actress, 50, who plays Dr Manpreet Sharma in the long-running soap, said Rico had praised her figure and so now she poses in cheekier outfits.
However she insisted that unlike her character's current Emmerdale storyline she would never strip off for OnlyFans.
She told The Sun: 'A few years ago I had been doing some stunt scenes for Emmerdale wearing Lycra pants and a sports bra.
'I sent a picture of me to my husband as I'd been doing some working out and I thought I looked quite good.
'He said, 'Post it on Instagram'. My immediate reaction was, 'No, no, I can't post that'.
'But after checking with the production team asking if it was too outrageous, I was assured it wasn't.'
She now enjoys showing off her figure online with bikini snaps and gorgeous sexy outfits.
Rebecca told how she now gets loads of complimentary messages from other women online about her content as she insisted: 'there's nothing wrong with posting a bikini holiday snap on Instagram.'
But in the interview she said she would never try and make money on OnlyFans - an X-rated subscription site.
However her character on Emmerdale did. Manpreet shared intimate pictures of herself after setting up a profile on a site called Fans Only.
But she was left dealing with a nightmare when a mystery person threatened to expose her unless she handed over £5,000.
In other Emmerdale news, earlier this week it was revealed that former soap star Glenda McKay is making a return to acting – 26 years after her character was dramatically killed off and she walked away from showbiz to become a schoolteacher.
The actress, now 54, famously played Rachel Hughes, the mother of Joe Tate, in the ITV soap Emmerdale for more than a decade from 1988 to 1999.
Glenda, who joined the cast at just 17 alongside her real–life brother Craig McKay, 52, stepped away from the spotlight shortly after her character's shocking death.
But now, she's set to return to TV screens – this time swapping the Yorkshire Dales for the cobbles of Coronation Street.
A source told The Sun: 'Glenda is making an acting comeback 13 years after she was last on TV.
'She'll be playing a social worker called Alison Hale who deals with Tim and Sally.
'Just as she arrives to tell them they're set to foster the Michealis children, a shocking incident happens that throws everything into chaos.'
ITV confirmed to the Daily Mail that Glenda will make a guest appearance in one episode as a visiting artist.
Glenda's Emmerdale exit remains one of the soap's most unforgettable moments.

Actor Terence Stamp, who starred in original Superman films, dies aged 87
Veteran British actor Terence Stamp, who starred in the original Superman films, has died aged 87. The Academy Award-nominated actor, who played Kryptonian villain General Zod in Superman and Superman II, died on Sunday. Stamp, who starred as a transgender woman in 1994's The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, won a Bafta for his performance. Born in the East End of London in 1938, Stamp rose to acting fame in the 1960s after he won a drama school scholarship. The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art scholarship led him to the stage, where he acted in repertory theatre and met Michael Caine, who was five years older than him. The pair lived together in a flat in Harley Street while they were both looking for their big break, but they parted ways and lost touch, Stamp previously told The Guardian. He made his film debut in Peter Ustinov's 1962 film adaptation of Herman Melville's Billy Budd and his portrayal of the title character brought an Oscar nomination. Known for his stylish clothes, Stamp famously dated actress Julie Christie, who he performed alongside in the 1967 film Far From The Madding Crowd and was also in a relationship with the model Jean Shrimpton. But, after missing out on the role of James Bond, he fell out of the limelight for a while. It was not until 1978 that he got his most famous role as General Zod and appeared in Superman's 1980 sequel as the same character. He began voice acting and writing books in the late '90s, but also continued acting in films, appearing alongside Tom Cruise in Valkyrie in 2008 and working on movies directed by Tim Burton. His film career spanning six decades ended with the 2021 psychological thriller Last Night In Soho. Stamp's death was confirmed in a death notice published online, the Associated Press said.

And that is a great position for any ownership group to be in, to really just be there to support and tell the story."We don't make football decisions.

"The truth is we don't really have anything to do with what happens out on the pitch."We've got our very specific job, which is to be clowns and to tell the story as best we can."But also to be as respectful as we possibly can to what Phil does on the pitch and what the executive team, Michael [Williamson], Shaun [Harvey] and Humphrey [Ker] and everybody does off the pitch."We just have an incredible team and we just get to sit back and be fans and document the process."
