Daisy Campbell has transitioned from her role on Emmerdale to open Pontefract’s first reformer Pilates studio, called That Pilates Place, marking a new chapter in her career as she embarks on this fitness venture.
After spending an impressive 13 years portraying Amelia Spencer on the long-running soap opera, Campbell left the show in 2024, which she described as a shock and not her choice. “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first,” she remarked, reflecting on her sudden departure.
In preparation for this new endeavor, Campbell completed a level three mat and reformer Pilates course, equipping herself with the necessary skills to run her studio effectively. The establishment of That Pilates Place involved significant personal effort; she renovated an old crown court alongside her 80-year-old grandad to create the space.
Key milestones:
- Daisy Campbell opened That Pilates Place after leaving Emmerdale in 2024.
- She marked six months in business at the studio in April 2026.
- Her next public appearance is scheduled for a celebrity edition of The Chase.
Campbell’s journey from television star to fitness entrepreneur showcases her adaptability and commitment to pursuing new passions. While she embraces this change, observers note that the impact of her departure from Emmerdale on both her career and the show’s viewership remains uncertain.
