An Emmerdale star has shared she's "had the time of my life" on Emmerdale after her character was killed off on the ITV soap.

Natalie Ann Jamieson, who played Amy Wyatt, wasn't able to survive the frozen lake crash storyline that began this week.

She fell through the ice while trying to make it to safety, and faced a terrifying few moments under the water before she was rescued by Tracy (played by Amy Walsh).

Amy developed hypothermia, and the medical staff explained that the process of warming her up was causing a strain on her body, leading to a seizure, the Radio Times reports.

There was a brief window of hope for Amy's loved ones when she began showing some positive signs, and tried to communicate that she saw another body in the lake when she went under the ice.

However, soon after Amy suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away in heartbreaking scenes.

In a video posted on the Emmerdale X (formerly known as Twitter) account it shows the scene of Amy's death play out before a clip Natalie Ann Jamieson is added on where she says a few words.

She said: "Thank you to everyone who watched this week's episodes and thank you to everyone who's watched Amy's journey through Emmerdale for these last six years.

"I've had the most amazing time working here, it's flown by.

"I work with [an] incredible cast, incredible crew [and an] incredible production team. I've honestly had the time of my life.

"And Emmerdale fans are the best fans in the world. Fact. Thank you so much, lots of love."

In a separate post on Instagram Natalie shared: "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 this in these last few eps!

"I’ve got so many amazing things to say about @emmerdale but for tonight just thank you for everything! And thank you to everyone of you who came on the journey with me, and all your beautiful messages you have sent to me!"
