“So, I guess officially it’s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn’t.”
A source previously told The Sun: “Charley is closing the door on Emmerdale for good and won’t be going back. 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.”
They added: “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.:
Meanwhile, an ITV spokesperson said there are “no plans for Debbie Dingle to return” to the soap.
