Emmerdale fans were quick to angrily flock to social media to put out an issue with PC Switling's attempts at being Father Christmas. The latest trip to the Dales on Thursday night (December 22) saw the villagers heading out to support vicar Charles Anderson's festive event.
As well as the children being able to see Santa, there was also plenty of mulled wine on offer for the adults, which a heartbroken Paddy Kirk took full advantage of, and also performances from the village choir. As well as it bringing together the residents of Emmerdale ahead of Christmas, it was also a fundraiser for a stroke charity following Marlon Dingle's ill health this year.
However, Charles did have a bit of a nightmare when it came to his Santa and a rather bah humbug PC Swirling took on the gig. But viewers of the ITV soap weren't impressed with his efforts.
