Roxy Shahidi on how Emmerdale will ‘pepper her in’ during Dancing on Ice stint

Emmerdale star Roxy Shahidi has revealed how the soap will deal with her absence whilst she's filming for Dancing on Ice.

She’s now confirmed what will become of Leyla whilst she’s busy learning new skating skills with Torvill and Dean in real-life. We didn’t plan to have a huge story for you at the beginning of the year, so we won’t, we’re just going to try and pepper you in and then you can focus on doing Dancing on Ice.” Otherwise, I don’t think it’d be fair, not only to me but to the shows.
