She was on long-running soap Emmerdale for 19 years, and now, actress Charley Webb has revealed she has no regrets about leaving. <\/p>\n

Charley played Debbie Dingle but made her exit from the show in 2021.<\/p>\n

She said last year in an Instagram Q&A: "I left to have Ace 2 years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline. So, I guess officially it\u2019s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

It had been reported that Charley had decided to exit the soap for good following her husband Matthew\u2019s alleged involvement in a race probe on set, which saw him suspended for a few weeks. He also went on to leave the soap.<\/p>\n

Charley did make a brief return to Emmerdale as Debbie was unmasked as Al Chapman's mystery woman. But she left after exposing his cheating and insisted she would return when she had a manager for her business in Scotland.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But it never happened and Debbie has been in Scotland since, not coming back to the village. Now, speaking two years after she left the soap, Charley told whattowatch.com that she feels she left at the right time and it was the correct decision.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI\u2019m ambitious to push myself and it\u2019s just about choosing the right projects from now on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to say no to work, but I trust my agent and I trust the process. Hopefully, I\u2019ve made some good choices so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of her newer projects include crime drama Better, which she made a cameo appearance in.<\/p>\n

She's also currently starring in the series The Long Shadow playing WPC Anna Lawson, a police officer involved in the hunt for Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe. <\/p>\n

Charley will also be seen on stage in Quiz, a play about the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? coughing scandal. Charley will star as Diana Ingram alongside Rory Bremner, who is playing Chris Tarrant and Lewis Reeves, who plays Charles Ingram, in the touring production.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I'm really excited about it. I\u2019ve got lots of friends from soaps, people like Jenna Coleman, who\u2019s gone on to do other stuff," she said.<\/p>\n

It comes after Charley revealed she suffers from mum guilt. She told OK: "I think every mum does. Even if you go for a coffee with a friend, you have mum guilt \u2013 you can\u2019t really get rid of it. It\u2019s ingrained in us, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

"And I think it\u2019ll always be there, no matter where I\u2019m working. If I want to work, I think I just have to get used to that feeling \u2013 it isn\u2019t going anywhere."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
