Emmerdale's Beth Cordingly claps back at cruel remarks from viewers over weight

ok.co.uk:

Before stirring up drama in Emmerdale as Ruby Haswell, Beth Cordingly was widely recognised for her role as PC Kerry Young in the iconic police series The Bill.

The show enjoyed an impressive tenure on ITV, launching in 1983 and continuing until its final curtain call in 2010. Beth Cordingly joined the cast in 2002, quickly winning over viewers and becoming a beloved character.

However, her journey on the show came to a heartbreaking end when her character fell victim to the Sunhill Sniper. Such was Kerry's impact that she was honoured with a special hour-long spin-off, 'Kerry's Story', on ITV3.

Despite her on-screen popularity, Beth encountered some tactless remarks from fans about her appearance. "Back when I was on The Bill, the first thing people would say to me was 'you're much thinner in real life,'" she recalls.
