“Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind but we know his legacy will live on in the shows he was a part of and in the audiences that love them. “How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us. “We kindly ask that our privacy is respected at this difficult time.” Emily played Carli D’Amato in E4‘s sitcom The Inbetweeners, and she later played Rebecca
White in ITV soap opera Emmerdale and Colette Andrews in BBC drama The Syndicate. Her sister Daisy also appeared in The Syndicate along with Netflix show Shadow and Bone. Six months ago, the pair hailed their mum as an “extraordinary, kind and talented mother” and said her death was a shock to them. They added: “It is immensely shocking to us all, and came with very little warning. “No words could ever express all that she encompassed, or begin to describe the crater her absence
has left. “We know how profoundly she has impacted the lives of so many, and we couldn’t be more proud of the legacy she is leaving behind. “We only wish she’d had more time to share her knowledge and brilliance with us, and the world. “Our grief knows no bounds, nor did the reaches of her incredibly unique and irreplaceable spirit.” Their mum was a dedicated animal rights activist and ran Tilley Farm, a sanctuary for rescued horses, ponies, and donkeys. She was also patron
of Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary in North Somerset for many years. Show business runs in the family, as Anthony’s brother Murray is also an actor and singer. Their dad was the film producer Seafield Laurence Stewart Murray Head. His mum was also an actress, Helen Shingler, who died in 2019.

Wait, Anthony Head is the guy from Buffy right? That’s so sad.
I don’t really watch TV anymore but Ted Lasso got me through a rough year. This article says “Emily” too—so who is Emily exactly? Kinda confused how that’s connected.
The animal rights part is wild though… Tilley Farm? I thought Anthony Head was like, purely an actor not a sanctuary person. Unless they mixed it up with someone else. Either way condolences to the family, just seems like the details are all over the place.
Ugh, I saw this headline and immediately assumed it was a rumor because these entertainment posts always jump fast. Then I read it’s “far greater than the hole he has left behind,” and yeah… no words. Also the Inbetweeners/Emmerdale stuff—are they talking about the same people or was this copied from somewhere else? Poor horses too, that sanctuary work sounds heartbreaking.
