Emmerdale star Beth Cordingly has opened up about an unusual phobia as she prepares to attend The British Soap Awards 2025.
The 48-year-old, who plays Ruby Miligan in the ITV1 soap, made the admission during an exclusive interview and photoshoot for TV Times magazine, on sale Tuesday 27 May, which has brought together four leading ladies from the soap world – Beth, Coronation Street’s Channique Sterling-Brown (Dee-Dee Bailey), EastEnders star Diane Parish (Denise Fox) and Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe (Mercedes McQueen) – to celebrate return of the glitzy ceremony.
