Emmerdale's Mimi Slinger's life after soap exit - from modelling to popstar boyfriend

Mimi Slinger may be best known for her role on Emmerdale but she's now hoping to broaden her career in acting and modelling following her departure from the soap.

The actor, 19, had played Leanna Cavanagh on the ITV soap from 2018 until last year, when her character was murdered by Meena Jutla.

She's more recently pursued a career in modelling, is in a high-profile relationship and is even said to be auditioning for shows on streaming platforms like Amazon and Netflix.

Having set her sights on life beyond Emmerdale, the actor signed with modelling agency Storm Management last year, joining the likes of Cindy Crawford, 56, on its roster.

She has posted photos of herself from modelling shoots on Instagram and has teased projects on the platform, alongside posts of her showcasing her personal style.

And although she is "super keen" to try her hand at modelling, Mimi told Inside Soap last year that she plans to continue to act in TV roles as well.

As reported by the Sun, she further confirmed her plans in a previous interview, saying: "I definitely want to keep acting. I absolutely love it and can't see myself not doing it!"

Mimi is said to have auditioned for various projects in recent months, according to her boyfriend HRVY, 23 - whom she had met on the red carpet of the NTAs last year.

The singer - who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 - spoke about his relationship with actor Mimi during an interview with the Daily Star just a few days ago.

HRVY - whose real name is Harvey Cantwell - told the outlet that she has been teaching him "acting stuff" whilst continuing to pursue opportunities in the industry herself.

He continued in the recent interview: "She's doing loads of self-tapes for Netflix and Amazon at the moment and she does her modelling thing as well, so she's doing her thing."

HRVY has teased that they could be a 'power couple' like David Beckham, 47, and Victoria Beckham, 48, in the future.

He said: "I don't know about couple goals but one day we could be like Angelina [Jolie] and Brad Pitt. Oh no, they broke up, didn't they? Or Posh and Becks one day maybe."
