Gemma Atkinson declared 'I can't' as she teased a backstage exchange with her former Emmerdale lover at the British Soap Awards 2023. The actress, who previously starred as Carly Hope in the ITV soap, dazzled on stage at The Lowry in Salford as she presented an award.
Gemma, who is pregnant with her second child with her Strictly star beau Gorka Marquez, was on hand to present the "Outstanding Achievement" award to Mark Charnock, who is best known for playing Marlon Dingle in Emmerdale.
The actor was honoured with the special award at the star-studded ceremony, attended by the casts of Hollyoaks, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Doctors on Saturday night (June 3) before it was aired on ITV on Tuesday night (June 6) after spending more than 20 years playing the loveable chef.
