Charley Webb, who plays Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale, has clarified her future on the soap.
Last month, Charley spoke at the launch Infalata Nation Peterborough and it was reported in The Sun that the actress said: “I’m on maternity leave at the moment. It’s been good, but three kids is a different ball game.
“It’s been really good fun, but there are no plans for me to return at the moment.”
Charley has now clarified what she meant after reports suggested it inferred she wasn’t returning to work.
In an interview with OK! Online, the actress was asked about going back to the soaps and the quotes saying there were ‘no plans’ for her return.
Charley responded saying: “It was taken out of context.
“What I meant was there is no set return date yet. Emmerdale has asked me and we have talked but I haven’t confirmed anything.
“I don’t have any plans to leave the show, but I might take a bit longer than a year off.”
Last year, Charley’s alter ego decided to move to Scotland to run a garage she had been left by family member Lisa Dingle.

Despite protests from her mum Charity and dad Cain, Debbie made the decision to move with her son Jack, however her daughter Sarah was adamant on staying in the village.
It was taken out of context. What I meant was there is no set return date yet.
As Debbie left the village, Charley went on maternity leave and gave birth to her third son, Ace.
Charley, who is married to Emmerdale’s David Metcalfe actor Matthew Wolfenden, has three children, nine-year-old Buster, four-year-old Bowie, and Ace, who is nearly seven months.
