Former Emmerdale actress Leah Bracknell died at the age of 55, after a three-year battle with lung cancer, leaving her friends, family and fans totally heartbroken

Emmerdale fans have remembered late actress Leah Bracknell on what would have been her 60th birthday.

She added: "I don't need to go and fulfil a bucket list, that's not my style, I just want to do the things I want to do while I am healthy and strong, I won't let myself live in fear, I'm just going to live a good life." The acting industry gave an outpouring of tributes for Leah after the news broke. One of them said her caring nature and talent are truly unforgettable. Lisa Riley, who portrayed Mandy Dingle on Emmerdale and had often worked alongside Leah, praised her with these words: "Leah lived her life to the fullest, her legacy will truly live on."

Following her training at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, she landed her big break at only 25 when she snagged a role in ITV's much-loved soap Emmerdale.
