Emmerdale star Paige Sandhu has confirmed she is leaving the ITV soap – and has already “started crying” about the exit.
Paige has played serial killer Meena Jutla on the popular ITV soap – an evil murderer who has wreaked havoc on the Dales.
Paige first set foot in the soap, as Manpreet Sharma’s estranged sister, in September 2020, but she’s been causing trouble ever since.
During her vicious on-screen killing spree, Meena has killed three members of the village.
The psychopath shoved Leanna Cavanagh over a bridge to her death, beat up Andrea Tate and left her to burn alive in a fire, and fatally pummeled Ben Tucker.
With Meena’s fate hanging in the balance, Paige has now confirmed that she is set to leave the soap.
The actress told This Morning that it’s “the beginning of the end” for her character, but there’s plenty more action to come before that happens.
Paige said: “This is the beginning of the end for Meena but there’s more drama to come!”
The exit has clearly left her emotional, because Paige revealed that she’s already started crying about it.

She told the Mirror: “The ending’s incredible, better than I could ever have imagined, and I have already started crying.”
Paige went on: “[Meena] is a psychopath and believes nobody will ever get the better of her. Psychopaths are incapable of feeling fear like we can.”
Last week, Meena tried to kill Dawn Taylor and Billy Fletcher, but she failed miserably.

She was caught by Liam Cavanagh who tried to kill her, but he was unable to.
Meena’s found herself in trouble as she’s in police custody and has admitted to killing Ben, but claims it was in self defence.
Fans might finally see the villain face justice for what she’s done.
For her role as murderous Meena, Paige won Best Villain at the 2021 Inside Soap Awards, and she was also nominated for Best Newcomer.
