CHARLEY Webb has revealed she’s returned to work five months after confirming she’d quit Emmerdale.
The 34-year-old shocked fans in January when she told them she wouldn’t be returning to play Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap – a role she had for 19 years.
But it seems we’ll be seeing Charley back on our screens very soon as she teased an exciting new project.
Actress Charley posted a snap of her on the way to work on her Instagram story – revealing she was still in her slippers for the journey.
She wrote: “The slippers are coming to work with me today.”
Charley later reposted a story from actor Kris Hitchin, who most recently starred alongside Sheridan Smith in BBC drama Four Lives.
More on Emmerdale
After The Celeb Report revealed at the beginning of the year that Charley would not be returning to Emmerdale, she confirmed the news on social media.
Over the top of a picture of her, husband Matthew and their three kids, she wrote: “This is always my most asked question but I’ve never answered it before because I’ve never wanted to make a big deal of it.
“I left to have Ace 2 years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline.
“So, I guess officially it’s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn’t.”
It came after Charley’s co-star husband Matthew Wolfenden, 41, was caught up in a racism bullying row on set.
Insiders told us last year that Charley, who last appeared on screen at the start of 2021, made it clear she will not return.
A source at the time said: “Charley is closing the door on Emmerdale for good and won’t be going back.
“After she gave birth to her third child with Matthew in 2019 she returned briefly before taking some time out again.
“The past few months have given her time to think about the future and it is one that doesn’t involve Emmerdale.
“Matthew being caught up in the row on set fuelled her decision to step away.
“Charley has been on Emmerdale for 19 years and her character Debbie has had a rollercoaster ride. It’s time for a new adventure for Charley.
“Naturally the door is open for her character, who is now living in Scotland, should she change her mind. But for now she is looking to the future.”
