Actress Charley Webb has reportedly quit Emmerdale after appearing on the soap for 19 years.
Charley, who plays Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale, is said to be "closing the door' on the ITV soap for good" after her husband Matthew Wolfenden became embroiled in a racism row, the Mirror reports.
The 33-year-old has three children with her husband of three years, who plays David Metcalfe in the soap.
She hasn't been seen on screen since the beginning of the year after her character was involved in an affair with villain Al.
A source told The Sun: "Charley is closing the door on Emmerdale for good and won’t be going back."
They added that, during the last few months, she has been thinking about the future, which is "one that doesn't involve Emmerdale".
The insider claimed that the row on set involving her husband "fuelled her decision to step back".
They continued: “Naturally the door is open for her character, who is now living in Scotland, should she change her mind. But for now she is looking to the future.”
An ITV spokesperson confirmed to the paper that there are "no current plans for Debbie Dingle to return".
Matthew was recently spotted back on the set.
He took a two-month break after bosses launched an investigation into allegations involving himself and a co-star.
Matthew's character David Metcalfe was suddenly written out of the soap after nearly being killed in the rapids during explosive episodes in October.
His co-star Isabel Hodgins, who plays David's love interest Victoria Barton, was also written out of the soap - leaving bosses frantic as they were forced to alter Christmas storylines at the last minute.
In November, it emerged that Matthew and Isabel became embroiled in claims that a mixed race actress' accent was mimicked.
An ITV spokesperson told The Mirror at the time: "While we would never comment on individual cases, Emmerdale has robust policies in place to deal with any allegations brought to our attention and take the appropriate steps."
The pair have categorically denied all the allegations and any wrongdoing, suggesting that instead there has been a misunderstanding, the paper has reported.
Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7pm on ITV, with additional episodes at 8pm on Thursdays
