ITV’s British Soap Awards showed a special Memorium section on the ceremony this year which highlighted those who had died in recent times. The ceremony showed images of actors who had died and some clips of some of the actors performing on the soap’s they worked on in their life.
However, fans spotted a blunder as the British Soap Awards failed to include Emmerdale's Andy Devine who played Shadrach Dingle on the show. Andy Devine died earlier this year on January 27 at 79 years old.
Andy Devine, born Peter Devine died of pneumonia after suffering from a fall. He started acting on Emmerdale in 2000 and spent ten years on the rural TV soap. He went on to develop Shadrach Dingle as an iconic character on the soap, often marked by his scruffy, lazy appearance, who struggled with alcohol.
