Emmerdale star Kelli Hollis quit acting to open a ‘WEED BAR’ in Thailand after initially planning to only stay in the country for four months

Former Emmerdale star Kelli Hollis has embarked on a completely new career since turning her back on acting.

The actress, 47, played Ali Spencer in the ITV soap between 2011 and 2015, with the character eventually being killed off away from screens in 2018. 

But eight years after last appearing on Emmerdale, Kelli is now happily living in Thailand, where she runs a self-styled ‘weed bar’ with her partner Martin Dawson.

The TV personality has been in Thailand for a year and often showcases her new life on TikTok, where she’s amassed over 100,000 followers.  

The bar sells cannabis and other marijuana products, with pictures of the bar on TikTok showing items such as ‘hash’, ‘joints’ and ‘brownies’ for sale.
