Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter very nearly played a completely different character on the ITV soap.
Before she bagged the role of Chas Dingle when she joined the soap over two decades ago, Lucy tried out for a completely different role - and she even managed to get into the top three for the part.
However, she is convinced she messed up her audition, meaning she was unlikely to get the role - but needless to say, bosses were actually very impressed with her and seemingly wrote a new role for her to take on, which ended up being a woman named Chas.
