Emmerdale's Samantha Giles is up for the Best Comedy Performance gong for her portrayal of Bernice Blackstock at the British Soap Awards tonight.
The 51-year-old first started on the show in 1998 and has departed and returned to the Dales numerous times since, with her most recent comeback being in 2021.
But while her character might be amusing, Samantha claims in real life she is actually "quite boring" - though we're sure many people would be quick to disagree.
