They wrote: 'You are the hottest woman on TV; Absolutely naturally stunning young lady.''Your body is beautiful; If you've got it, flaunt it!' Emmerdale star Rebecca Sarker has sent fans into a frenzy as she showed off her incredible figure in new bikini snapsRebecca is no stranger to sharing bikini-clad snaps on Instagram, and her character Manpreet has even stripped off on the soap to share images on an OnlyFans-inspired streaming service.But the actress has insisted she has no interest in pursuing a similar venture in real life, telling The Sun: 'I still love playing Manpreet just as much as I did when I joined.'I love the fact every time I get a new story, it’s something completely different and it introduces another facet to her character. She is never one-dimensional.' Emmerdale may be one of ITV's longest-running soaps, but behind the scenes, cast have been left reeling by a string of stars being axed.ITV has been hit by widespread cuts in recent months, as a result of several factors including changing viewer habits, which have resulted in a shift towards streaming services.Nick Miles, 63, who is better known to fans as Jimmy King, is among the long-standing cast members who has been axed from the show.It's thought that the much-publicised return of Patsy Kensit as Sadie King has also raised eyebrows, given it comes at a time so many actors are being dropped from the soap. A source told The Sun: 'Many of the core cast are feeling really put out by some of the latest decisions on the show. The actress showed off her impressive abs in black bikini bottoms and a floral top as she strolled along the beach at sunset Rebecca has played the ole of Manpreet since 2018 (pictured in the soap) 'They have been left devastated to learn that a number of their colleagues have been chosen to leave the programme due to the ongoing money woes at the show.'But they are now finding it hard to stomach that ITV have found the cash to bring back Patsy at the same time as offloading six other stars.'The cast have discussed between themselves how it seems unfair how some of the show's loyal long-standing stars have been cast aside in favour of bringing Patsy back after 20 years.'After leaving Emmerdale in 2006, Patsy played Faye Morton in Holby City from 2007 to 2010, as well as Emma Harding in EastEnders in 2023.
