'Emmerdale' star wants break-up

Emmerdale's Kate McGregor thinks that her character, Emily Kirk, would be better off without her husband.

She has apparently begged the show's bosses to cause a split between Emily and vet husband Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and wants her to become a strong single woman fending for herself, reports the Daily Star.

She told a fan magazine: "Emily's always had a man. It would be nice to see her as an independent woman.

"I've been simmering along for a while as a supporting player. Now they're opening the door."
