Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has been told she 'doesn't age' as she gave a glimpse at her previous career before becoming known for playing Chas Dingle in the ITV soap.
Viewers of the Leeds-based show know the actress first arrived in the fictional Yorkshire village as Chas in 2002 and it was an interesting introduction as Chas made her entrance to Emmerdale dressed as a nun for the stag night of her cousin Marlon.
Over the years Lucy has tackled a whole host of storylines as Chas - from connecting with her half-sister Gennie Walker and being landlady of The Woolpack, to being taken hostage and tragically losing her baby daughter, Grace.
More recently, the character has been diagnosed with breast cancer and having undergone a mastectomy, will soon be having treatment on-screen.
