Last night’s heartbreaking episode of Emmerdale confirmed that Amy had become the latest limo crash death.

Amy went under the ice for a brief period of time, and contracted severe hypothermia. And despite getting her to a stable condition, she went into cardiac arrest and died.

This means Natalie Ann Jamieson has bid farewell to the soap after six years. Although the character had been previously played by Chelsea Halfpenny from 2010.

After the heartbreaking episode aired, Natalie posted on her Instagram, thanking fans for their support over the years.

The Emmerdale star posted a series of behind-the-scenes content from her final scenes, and gushed about her time in the village.

She wrote: “Goodbye Amy. I have had the best six years of my life playing this gobby Geordie with a heart of gold!

“What a way to go – so so proud of the cast and crew who achieved all of this in these last few eps!”

Natalie admitted she has “so many more amazing things to say” about her time on the show, but she doesn’t yet have the words.

She continued: “For tonight, I just want to say thank you for everything! And thank you to every one of you who came on the journey with me. And for all your beautiful messages you have sent to me.”

Her fellow co-stars were quick to comment on the post, sharing how much they will miss having her on screen.

Danny Miller (Aaron Dingle) wrote: “We miss that smile and energy in the building already mate. Go and shine our kid.”

While her on-screen husband, Ash Palmisciano (Matty Barton) commented: “Going to miss you so much. So proud of you this week! You have been incredible.”

Fans left heartbroken over Emmerdale Amy death

Ash shared his own tribute to Natalie on his own Instagram page, expressing his “sadness” that she is gone.

He wrote: “Matty will never be the same. I am so proud of the very talented Natalie Ann Jamieson and all of her incredible work this week.

“We have had so many laughs over the years working together. And now I have a mate for life. I couldn’t have asked for a better soap wife.”

The cast of Emmerdale weren’t the only ones heartbroken by Amy’s death, as fans all shared the feeling.

Taking to X after the episode, one fan wrote: “Killing Amy off is a step too far.”

Another shared: “This [Amy’s death] made me shed a tear. Amy will be missed. So sad to see Natalie Ann Jamieson go. It would have been nice to see where this trans marriage and adoption storyline would go.”

Natalie wasn’t the only cast member bowing out this week, as Roxy Shahidi said goodbye to 16 years as Leyla Harding. And after her emotional death aired, she revealed it wasn’t her choice to be killed off.
