Emmerdale legend Fiona Wade strips topless and poses in bikini on paradise holiday a year after quitting soap

EMMERDALE legend Fiona Wade stunned as she stripped topless during a paradise holiday.

The actress, 45 - who played Priya Sharma in Emmerdale - took to Instagram to share posts from her break to Goa.

In one post Fiona was seen taking in the incredible view from her balcony.

She went topless with just a white sheet wrapped around her waist.

Fiona said: "Total body mind & soul reset at the stunning Netravali retreat in South Goa. Such a special place."

She was joined on the holiday by husband and fellow former Emmerdale star Simon Cotton.

Other posts showed Fiona smiling as the couple walked hand-in-hand on the beach.

Fiona also showed off her envible figure in a white bikini while posing against a backdrop of the Arabian Sea.

In 2023 Fiona left Emmerdale after playing Priya for 11 years.

Earlier this year she took to the stage as Jenny in 2:22 A Ghost Story and later admitted leaving the soap was the "best decision" she's ever made.

Fiona told : "I knew that my first job out of Emmerdale had to be the right one, and then this came up.

"It's honestly been the best decision ever.

"When you leave a soap, I think some people think you made the decision yesterday, but these decisions are taken over years. It was a scary decision but it was the right one."

She added: "Theatre can feel more scary and in television you're slightly protected by the fact you can do another take, and I was very comfortable in Emmerdale, but I wanted a change, I wanted to grow, and I wanted to do something that challenged me."
