Ex-Emmerdale actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter puts the job hunt on hold to enjoy fun on the beach
She recently ended her relationship with Emmerdale co-star Danny Miller, and then found out that the soap wouldn’t be renewing her contract, so Kirsty-Leigh Porter decided a holiday was in order.By
The actress, who plays Roz Fielding in the ITV1 soap, grabbed her tiny string bikini and headed to Mallorca to soak up the sun.

Kirsty was definitely showing her ex, who plays Aaron Livesy on Emmerdale, what he has been missing out on, as she flaunted her toned figure on the Spanish beach.
The couple split at the end of March, which was only two weeks after the 22-year-old was told that her Emmerdale contract wouldn’t be renewed when it came to an end, the News of the World reported.
And to add salt in the wound, her former boyfriend Danny, 20, was awarded the Best Actor award at last week’s British Soap Awards.
Kirsty-Leigh joined the soap a year ago as a bad girl, who stirred trouble in the village by playing a key role in Holly Barton’s descent into drug addiction.

Emmerdale’s producer, Stuart Blackburn, said: ‘The character of Roz was brought into Emmerdale for the purpose of Holly’s addiction storyline, which has now concluded.
‘Kirsty will therefore sadly be leaving us at the end of her current contract. She is a huge talent and an absolute professional.
‘The door will be left wide open for a possible return in the future.’
