EMMERDALE star Rebecca Sarker has shocked fans by looking world’s away from her character Manpreet Julta in a new snap.
The ITV soap favourite took to Instagram with the photograph showing off her ripped body and toned abdominals.
Soap legend Rebecca, 47 – who rose to fame on Coronation Street in the late 1990s – joined the cast of Emmerdale in 2018.
Since then she has portrayed the level-headed GP at Abbott Lane surgery – and the estranged wife of Rishi Sharma (Bhasker Patel).
Her character Manpreet has been at the centre of the drama lately, as her murderous sister Meena has been put on trial for her crimes.
However, outside the show – the actress has stunned her fans by looking wildly different from her doctor role.

On Instagram, Rebecca is no stranger to showing off her incredible body, including her rippling, as she frequently hits the gym.
One snap sees the ripped star showing off her huge biceps, as she poses in tight-fitting workout leggings and a long sleeved top.
Wearing her hair down and going au-natural without make-up, the star could be seen smiling towards the camera in her home gym.
While a second photograph shows off Rebecca’s toned legs as she lifts a heavy bar and weight up above her head.
In tiny gym shorts and a pair of white trainers, Rebecca had pulled her hair up in a tight bun as she showed off her strength.
Normally the actress is seen covered up in smart dresses and suits as she portrays GP Manpreet in Emmerdale.
It’s been a tough few weeks for the character as she was dragged into court and question as her sister Meena’s murders were uncovered.
She took to the stand to testify against her sister – who is played by Paige Sandhu – in a dramatic turn of events.
The village GP told the court how the serial killer kept her hostage and fed her a cocktail of drugs during her captivity, before confessing all of her crimes.
Meena was taunting her older sister, determined to destroy her publicly – which led to viewers questioning why Manpreet was even present at the trial.
They took to Twitter following the distressing scene, with one writing: “Emmerdale, funny the judge wasn’t as concerned about 1 of the victims as he was about the accused.”
A second commented, recalling how Meena publicly taunted her sister: “Meena openly mocking the witness right there in court, and NOBODY. Not the judge, the lawyers, or the jury, noticed.
