Emmerdale’s Rebecca Sarker turned heads as she ditched her on-screen attire for a skimpy white bikini, showcasing her incredible figure.

The 49-year-old actress, famed for her role as Manpreet Sharma in the hit ITV soap, traded the chilly climes of the Yorkshire Dales for a

sun-drenched getaway, flaunting her enviable physique on Instagram. Rebecca looked every inch the beach babe in a white string bikini that highlighted her toned curves to perfection.

With her flat tummy on full display, the TV star had her followers swooning over her sizzling holiday snaps. She cheekily captioned her post: “BACK [white love heart]… to reality, to work, to wearing clothes,” complete with a giggle-inducing emoji.

Fans were quick to flood the comments section with praise, with one admirer declaring: “You are now my screensaver for the week.”

Another fan commented: “Gorgeous! Amazing figure!” while a third chimed in: “Rebecca always gives us the best views,” reports the Mirror.

And a fourth devotee exclaimed: “Absolutely incredible Rebecca. You look beautiful and stunning.

Manpreet was last seen in Emmerdale on Friday, August 23, leaving viewers in suspense about how her absence will be explained on the show, which is filmed weeks ahead. In recent storylines, Manpreet has been grappling with the aftermath of Ethan’s death. The young solicitor, who was Charles’ son, passed away unexpectedly earlier in the year.

The relationship drama in Emmerdale between Charles and Manpreet has taken another tragic twist with a recent death stirring more chaos for the troubled couple. Actress Rebecca Sarker spilled the beans back in June about the duo’s rocky romance on-screen.

Talking about their on-and-off love story, she revealed: “Charles is Manpreet’s hero, and definitely the love of her life. They first met when she was in a very unhappy marriage with an abusive husband. People were rooting for them to get back together once they reconnected in the village, and they got their happy ending.”

About Manpreet turning down her partner’s proposal, she added: “She did turn down his recent proposal, only because it wasn’t the right circumstances. But it’s always been about Charles for her.”

Getting candid about her character’s early days in the soap, Rebecca shared some behind-the-scenes goss with Inside Magazine: “Manpreet was first introduced as a love interest for Rishi, and early on there was an idea she would cheat on him with his son, Jai.”

“Originally she was meant to be a bit of a gold digger and a temptress, but I’m glad they didn’t go down that route as it gave the character more longevity.”
