Lesley Dunlop, who plays Brenda Walker on hit soap Emmerdale, is believed to be leaving the show after 16 years. However, the TV legend's reported shocking departure isn't the only one as fellow favourite Roxy Shahidi, 41, who plays Leyla Harding, is saying goodbye.
With multiple characters set to be leaving, it has reportedly sent waves of concern through the cast, with many fearing for their future on the ITV soap.
OK! has contacted ITV for comment. Behind the scenes, the buzz is all about the latest high-profile exit, which hasn't been officially announced yet, and speculation is rife about who might be next to go.
Married to fellow Emmerdale star Chris Chittell, aka Eric Pollard, Lesley's character has been at the heart of some gripping storylines, including her battle with a brain tumour.
