Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has been flooded with messages of support from fans after sharing her decision to quit social media. The actress is much-loved on Instagram for sharing regular updates from her huge number of train journeys as well as snippets from work and her personal life.

But Beth, who plays Ruby Fox-Milligan in the ITV soap, has now admitted that she will be leaving the online world for a bit. She was seen cuddled up to her pet cat for her latest video in which she spoke about her decision.

While she didn't share why she had made the decision, Beth did tell her fans and followers that she would only be gone from Instagram for a "little while".

Speaking directly to her fans, Beth said: "Hi guys, we [Beth and her cat] are having a few weeks away from social media, aren't we? She then blew her fans a kiss as she added: "Sending you all love - I'll see you on the other side."

Her adorable black and white cat then meowed as Beth tried to get him to "say something" as she closed up the video clip. And it didn't take Beth's followers long to show their love and support.

It comes after Beth recently emotionally declared her love for her real-life partner who also once appeared in the Dales. The actress is very much loved-up with fellow actor Ian Kelsey. She shared a FaceTime snap of the couple. It showed Ian smiling into the camera at the forefront of the post while Beth could be seen beaming in the corner as they made sure to catch up with one another while apart.

Beth, 47, gushed alongside the post: "I love you on tour. I love you at home. I love you away. I love you here. You are the stuff dreams are made of. Thank god I found you. #stillcantbelieveyourereal..."

She continued: "(I know this is [sick face emoji] . Soz, dudes. I shout this s**t from the rooftops nowadays and – if it backfires on me – SO BE IT, I won’t be ashamed. I had a good time on the way. I’m done with being quiet and careful. I don’t care. #lifeistooshort).

"It’s taken me 47 years to get here. And some amazing people in my life with everyday a school day. Stay open. Own your mistakes. WE ALL MAKE THEM. I MAKE HUNDREDS EVERY DAY. Proper CRINGE ONES. So. LEARN. Life IS a marathon not a sprint. Seatbelt on. There will be time."

Beth then concluded her emotional post: "Thought for the day: The good ones do exist. Keep your eyes open. And when you find them – it’s terrifying, I KNOW. But be brave and reach out your hand and don’t let go. #trustyouareenough#youareworthy#loveyourself please. @iankelseyofficial I love you. Thank you for being amazing."
