S3. XY BEX Emmerdale’s Rebecca Sarker, 51, branded ‘hottest woman on TV’ as she shows off rock hard abs in a bikini

EMMERDALE star Rebecca Sarker sent fans into meltdown as she shared bikini photos from her Spanish holiday.

The 51-year-old – who plays Dr Manpreet Sharma on the ITV soap – was hailed the “hottest woman on TV” as she posed in a black printed bikini.

Rebecca looked incredible in the black bottoms and floral print top, which she teamed with brown square sunglasses.

The soap star showed off her abs as she posed laughing while walking along the sea at sunset.

Her fans flooded the comments of her Instagram snaps with their appreciation, with one writing: “You are the hottest woman on TV,” and another adding: “Absolutely naturally stunning young lady.”

“Your body is beautiful,” a third commented, and another fan penned: “If you’ve got it, flaunt it!”

The actress often shows off her gym-honed figure on social media, previously posing in a white lacy bra and a teeny sports bra.

However, unlike her Emmerdale character who posts racy snaps on a fictional subscription service, Rebecca said she would not strip off for OnlyFans.

Last year, she told The Sun that she still enjoys playing Manpreet Sharma, explaining that she hasn’t had “the seven-year itch” after signing on to the series in 2018.

“I still love playing Manpreet just as much as I did when I joined,” she said.

“I love the fact every time I get a new story, it’s something completely different and it introduces another facet to her character. She is never one-dimensional.”

Confirming that she has no plans to leave Emmerdale in the future, the TV star added that her character Manpreet “has more to offer” and noted that if her “time ever comes up,” she can say she was “proud” to have been a part of the soap.
