Former ITV Emmerdale Meena star Paige Sandhu looks incredible in sparkly green suit

Former Emmerdale star Paige Sandhu had fans all in a flutter as she showed off her post-Dales look. The actress left the ITV soap earlier this year after 19 months of playing Meena Jutla.

The serial killer character met her explosive end back in April when she was finally sentenced to 75 years for the murders of Leanna Cavanagh, Ben Tucker and Andrea Tate within her secret reign of terror going unnoticed by her fellow villagers for months. And in true Meena style, she didn't go quietly.

During her dramatic trial she once again took her sister, Manpreet Sharma, hostage in one final bid to escape the law and get away with her evil crimes. With a piece of broken glass as a weapon, the former nurse took her sister through the backs of the courts where she revealed Manpreet that she had killed their father in an attempt to get back at her older sister.

But before Manpreet could do something she'd come to regret, the police arrived and Meena was caught once again and was eventually sentenced to life in prison, marking the end of her murderous reign on the Dales.

And Paige Sandhu, who played the villain, couldn't be further away from her former on-screen character. The actress, 25, took to Instagram over the weekend to share a trio of selfies with her followers, seemingly taken in her home or a hotel-like space.

She posed for the mirror pics while wearing a plunging green sparkly blazer and matching wide-legged trousers. She toned down the look with a pair of white trainers and her long dark locks were style in waves. Paige didn't add much of a caption to her post, simply using a snake emoji.

But her thousands of followers were soon commenting to compliment her look. @lee_deakin_1982 said: "You look incredible." @nicdell2001 commented: "Wow you look Gorgeous as always." Fan page @meenassupremacy replied: "SO BEAUTIFUL."

@loobeylou1966 wrote: "Wow, you look beautiful." @roisin.king shared: "Ohhhhhh loving the look." @archieericmaddocks added: "Very nice outfit...and a beaut."

It's not the first time Paige has stunned her followers since leaving the ITV soap. She wowed fans earlier this month after she posted a series glam snaps. She wore a sparkly strapless dress that featured a long train that she teamed with a pair of pointed stilettos and silver drop-down earrings.
