Samantha Giles left Emmerdale as Bernice Blackstock earlier this month (November) as her character wanted to start afresh.
Bernice had committed fraud, seeing her then hand over the B&B to her sister and leave in a taxi.
Now, Samantha Giles’ latest career move is out in the open – just weeks after her soap exit.
Samantha Giles left Emmerdale role of Bernice Blackstock
This month in Emmerdale, Nicola was furious when she found out that Bernice had taken a loan out in her name to pay off her debts.
With Bernice going into hiding, Nicola soon found her and confronted her over the betrayal.
Bernice then tried to stop Nicola from calling the police and agreed to hand over her half of the B&B to her.
Realising that she needed to get away from the mess she had caused, Bernice then jumped into a taxi and left the village for a new start.
This came after Samantha Giles revealed to Metro.co.uk that her decision to leave the soap was based on her wanting to ‘spread her wings.’
