Emmerdale fans were left stunned after discovering that Beth Milligan, who plays Ruby Fox Milligan on the ITV soap, had a forgotten role in the provocative series Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Beth, known for her dramatic debut earlier this year as Caleb William Ash’s feisty wife Ruby, also starred in a steamy scene on the ITV show back in 2007.
Before her time in Emmerdale, Beth appeared in various shows, including Doctors, EastEnders, and Casualty. However, it was her brief but unforgettable appearance in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, a racy series about sex worker Hannah Baxter (played by Billie Piper), that has recently caught fans’ attention. In episode five of the show’s first season, Beth played Naomi, a fellow call girl who engages in a scandalous threesome with Billie Piper’s character and one of their clients.
The show originally aired on ITV but was recently added to Netflix, where fans were shocked by its bold content. Some took to social media to express their surprise, with one viewer commenting on how they couldn’t believe it aired on ITV. Others admitted they now see Beth’s Emmerdale character differently after discovering her role in the daring series.
Outside of her acting career, Beth is in a happy relationship with fellow actor Ian Kelsey, who also once appeared on Emmerdale as Dave Glover in the 1990s. Beth has spoken lovingly about Ian, saying their shared understanding of the acting industry helps strengthen their relationship. Fans remain intrigued by Beth’s past roles and her growing presence on Emmerdale.
