Emmerdale Star Reunited with Co-Star for New Project After Soap Exit

A Heartbreaking Exit

An axed Emmerdale star has been reunited with her co-star for a new project just weeks after being killed off on the soap. Leyla, played by Roxy Shahidi, met a tragic end in the soap after a shocking limo crash.

Looking to the Future

After leaving the Dales in 2011 and returning in 2013, Leyla's latest exit seems to be more permanent as her soap funeral airs. Roxy Shahidi, who played Leyla, is now excited to work on more podcasts with former co-star Matthew Wolfenden.

Podcast Collaboration

Roxy and Matthew released a podcast called Celebrity Side Hustles last year, where they chat with celebrity guests about their off-screen lives and inner passions. The duo has previously worked together as screenwriters on TV dramas like Holby City and Doctors.

Streaming Now

The podcast, Celebrity Side Hustle, is available to stream on various platforms. In the first series, they were joined by former co-star Danny Miller, discussing his acting journey and charity work. Roxy and Matthew are set to continue their creative collaboration in the future.
