Emmerdale star on Amelia being 'cut off' in raging storm as she faces death

Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) finds herself in huge danger during Emmerdale’s special 50th anniversary episode when she unexpectedly goes into labour when she’s on her own in the middle of a horrific storm.

Daisy Campbell sets the scene for us:

‘Amelia is on her way to meet Noah (Jack Downham) at Wylie’s farm for a picnic as he is working there with Marcus (Darcy Grey),’ she says. ‘She ends up taking a short cut and she gets shifted by a strong gale of wind. She slightly falls but is not hurt but she then starts to feel her first contraction. There’s a lot of wind going on and heading towards the village is a very bad storm.’

As Amelia realises her baby could be about to arrive, she calls her dad for help. ‘She panics for a bit as she doesn’t really know what is going on,’ Daisy says.

‘And by now she’s having quite regular contractions. She knows deep down she’s made a mistake coming out here on her own with the weather turning for the worst, so she calls her dad to tell him before she might not be able to get hold of him.

‘Amelia ends up in a barn in the middle of nowhere, as it’s the only place she can find to shelter. She’s really worried at this point as she’s only 16 and is stuck in a raging storm in the middle of nowhere and has no one to help her out.

‘She also can’t get in touch with anyone as all phone signals have been totally cut off due to the storm. I think at this stage her anxiety is through the roof!’

Daisy says these scenes were ‘amazing’ to do.

‘I think I will remember filming these scenes for the rest of my career,’ she enthuses. ‘It didn’t feel like normal filming days, which I really love. It felt like we were shooting a film.

‘I feel so honoured and lucky to have experienced a workplace like that. The adrenaline for shooting was like nothing I have felt before, it was crazy.’
