Emmerdale star Adele Silva starred as saucy Kelly Windsor on the soap for 19 years, but has since turned her back on her star studded past. Adele, now 43, was in her teens when she was first cast back in 1993 - and made a big splash with viewers as she got older. She was branded one of TV’s sexiest stars and was listed on FHM mag’s 100 sexiest women list for years in a row.
Her character Kelly’s scandalous love life did nothing to quell her reputation, either, as she had on-screen romps with characters Ethan Blake, Jimmy King, Rodney Blackstock and even Scott Windsor, her own step-brother. But, more than a decade on, actress Adele’s life is now totally different. It’s been twelve years since she waved goodbye to the soap for good in 2011 following a brief comeback - after initially fleeing the farm in 2007 - and she’s since embarked on a brand new career.
She’s now working as a teacher at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, where she keeps a low profile. Adele is also a dedicated mum to her eight year old daughter, Sienna, who she shares with her partner, businessman Oliver Farber. However, before she turned to teaching, Adele headed to Los Angeles in the United States in the hopes of making it big in Hollywood.
But her dreams were quickly dashed and she was forced to take a job as a shop assistant in clothes shop Ted Baker on glitzy Melrose Avenue. After pictures of Adele cleaning up and stocking shelves were published by the Daily Mail, the actress admitted that it can be tough working as a jobbing actress. “In this climate you can either sell your soul or do an honest day’s work,” she said at the time.
