Emmerdale’s Daisy Campbell admits she was criticised by fans for drinking while pregnant on the soap

Daisy Campbell has revealed the criticism she faced for drinking in public while pregnant in Emmerdale.

The 20-year-old actress plays Amelia Spencer on the ITV soap opera and joined the show in May 2011 when she was just seven years old.

But growing up in the spotlight hasn’t been easy for the star, and she’s even faced backlash while out on a night out with her friends.

speaking to SunDaisy admitted that fans often mistook her for her character.

She told the publication: ‘It’s so much fun. When people see me on a night out, they say, “Where’s your baby?”

“And when Amelia was pregnant on the show, people would come up to me and say, ‘So you’re not pregnant in real life?'”

‘Or they’d tell me I shouldn’t be drinking in ‘my condition’.’

Amelia, Daisy’s character She is the daughter of Ali Breckle and Daz Spencer on the show, although for eleven years of her life, she was believed to be the daughter of Daz’s brother, Dan.

In October 2022, Amelia became a mother at sixteen when she gave birth to her daughter Esther.

Earlier that year, she and Samson Dingle drunkenly conceived their daughter at a party.

In recent episodes, Samson pocketed £2,000 after encouraging Noah to pay him in exchange for staying away from Amelia and baby Esther.

When Samson and Amelia’s daughter was born last October, Samson shocked the village when he refused to have anything to do with her.

But recently, Samson began to take an interest in Esther after learning that Amelia’s boyfriend Noah had been awarded a trust fund worth thousands of pounds.

Now, in scenes to be shown next week, Amelia is glad that Samson (Sam Hall) is taking more of an interest in Esther.

Later, as Samson reluctantly babysits the children, Sarah discovers that Esther has a fever.

In a panic, they call an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Dan praises Samson for calling the ambulance.

Soon everyone is relieved to know that Esther will be okay, but Noah hates the praise Samson receives for ‘saving’ Esther.

Later, Samson arrives under false pretenses to check on Esther, but instead, demands more money from Noah to stay out of Amelia and Esther’s lives.

The next day, Noah pays Samson via bank transfer.

The moment Samson receives the money from Noah, he revokes his wish to spend time with Esther, and Amelia is devastated by Samson’s change of heart.

Now she worries that she won’t be able to pay for Esther’s childcare.

It strikes her that maybe Noah could help pay for it out of his inheritance, but she’s upset by Noah’s reaction that he’s only using it as an ATM.

As Amelia storms off, Charity questions her son after seeing his reaction to Amelia’s request. Soon, Charity gets to the bottom of the problem.

The inheritance is gone and he is being blackmailed by Samson.

Samson is soon confronted from all angles by his angry friends and family and as the confrontation reaches its climax, Samson attempts to wriggle out, but is left shocked when an embarrassed Sam tells him to find another place to live.
