Emma Davies leaves Emmerdale

Dramatic exit planned for her character Anna De Souza

Emma Davis was first seen in Emmerdale in June

Emma Davies has been written out of ITV1 soap Emmerdale.

The 38-year-old actress, who plays Anna De Souza, will leave in a spectacular Christmas storyline.

‘The opportunity of playing Anna has been a joy from start to finish,’ Emma says. ‘I've enjoyed being part of such a fantastic, hard-working and talented team.’

Emma’s exit will coincide with that of her on-screen lover Matthew King (Matt Healy) and father Donald de Souza (Michael Jayston).

Roxanne Pallett (Jo Sugden) and Mathew Bose (Paul Lambert) have also announced their plans to leave the show.
