Emmerdale's Angelica King star died aged 3 after horrifying accident
It has been 12 years since the role of Angelica King was recast on Emmerdale after Sophie Firth, who originated the role in 2009, tragically died in a freak accident at the age of three. The role is currently played by Rebecca Bakes, who recently announced that she would be returning to the role after several months away. On the ITV soap, Angelica had been sentenced to eight months detention at a secure children's home after her dangerous driving caused the death of her friend Heath Hope.
