Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly, who plays Ruby Fox-Milligan, has announced a short break to her followers via social media.

Fans were left worried after she shared the news via her Instagram account and revealed she is exiting her social media for the foreseeable.

In the video, Beth sat on the floor in her home while cuddling up to her cat. As well as the immediate break, she revealed she would be offline for ‘a little while.’

“Hi guys, we [Beth and her cat] are having a few weeks away from social media, aren’t we?” Beth said to the camera. She then blew her fans a kiss as she added: “Sending you all love – I’ll see you on the other side.”

Her black cat meowed at the camera, and Beth encouraged him to ‘say something.’ Afterwards, she cut off the camera.

There was no further explanation as to why Beth is taking a break from social media.

“Bye bye for a little while,” she captioned the post with a few love heart emojis.

Shortly after sharing her big news, fans flooded the comment section with support for Beth and whatever she is going through.

“Aww I will miss your posts. You are such a lovely lady. We appreciate you! I look forward to your return. Much love,” praised a fourth.

Beth to stay?

She boasts around 30,000 followers and said to fans she will be back, but there’s no saying how long her ‘break’ might last.

Back in the Dales, fans were left reeling after the latest discovery that Caleb and Ruby were talking about their secret daughter Stephanie. She was mentioned by Ruby’s dying mum, Helen, and then by Caleb and Ruby.

We have yet to meet the mysterious Stephanie, but perhaps the mention is a clue she might be coming to our screens sooner than expected…
