'Emmerdale' Lucy Pargeter: 'Chas Dingle will be an outsider'

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has predicted that her character Chas Dingle will become an "outsider" if her affair is exposed.

Chas is currently playing a dangerous game as she wrestles with her feelings for Cameron Murray (Dominic Power), who is the partner of her niece Debbie. The pair will embark on a full-blown relationship in secret in the coming days.



Pargeter told Inside Soap: "I'm not looking forward to when the Dingles find out and make Chas an outsider. I don't want her to be estranged from them - they are her family, after all.

"Also, I'm terrified of what Debbie will do when she discovers what's going on. Chas is strong, but that'd be a fight and a half. Charley Webb, who plays Debbie, is formidable - so I'm not looking forward to scrapping with her! I'm scared of Charity, too - who'd want to mess with her?

"We'll just have to laugh our way through those scenes if and when we come to do them."

The actress confirmed that the storyline will form part of the build-up to Emmerdale's 40th anniversary celebrations in October.

She added: "There are plenty of twists and turns. Other people might be getting involved with it too."

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1.
