Emmerdale's Liam Fox in tears at emotional tribute from co-star after soap exit

Emmerdale actor Liam Fox has been left tearful after a sweet tribute from a fellow soap star Daisy Campbell as he leaves the ITV soap after more than a decade.

Liam Fox has played Dan Spencer for 12 years but has exited the soap as his character is jailed for killing a man with one punch during a confrontation and receives an eight-year sentence for manslaughter. Co-star Daisy, who plays Amelia, was left devastated as her on-screen father is jailed and off screen the actress has shared her sadness at no longer working with Liam.

Daisy made a loving tribute to her on-screen dad which left Liam in tears as he watched. The actress recalled her first moments of working with Liam as she shared: "I first filmed with Liam in 2011, nearly 2012, I was nearly 8. We had a scene in the park, you came in when you meant to. We had a scene at Brook Cottage where you took me and Sean on little days out to make up for lost time.

"I just remember it was just crazy, I was really young but I definitely remember all that first stuff we had with the Spencer fam in the first house. Those were the times!" She continued: "I definitely have a memorable scene, I think it was the birth scene because it was a new era, getting older in the show, you becoming a grandad.

"But I also remember Little Miss Sparkling Gem, which was in 2015 I think and it was a whole day out with all the cast and crew for a pageant for Amelia. We were saying the other day, Laura was there, Kelli, Alicya, Sean – a proper family moment. He has always kept me grounded – don’t get big-headed, which I always keep in mind."

Daisy continued as she explained that Liam "literally taught me everything I know and I am always going to stick to the things you have taught me since being young". She then emotionally signed off the video: "I can’t believe I am saying goodbye, you are going to smash it, thank you for everything you have taught me. I can’t believe this is the final goodbye after working together for 12 years but I know I will definitely see you again. Lots of love, bye!"

An emotional Liam responded to the video as he said: "Lovely Daisy’s ace. I don’t usually get emotional but that makes me a bit emotional. I wouldn’t have stuck out 12 years in the show if I didn’t have the family I was put with. I remember loving Kelli Hollis as an actress. She made me so welcome on the first day, the job was easy, I realised it was going to be a piece of cake.

"It’s the best 12 years I could ever have, and the best storyline to have. Whatever happens to me now, I will struggle to meet a better group of work mates. It’s good as well – I am very excited to be moving on. You just miss the people you film with, like Daisy, because she is family."
