Emmerdale's Dominic Brunt has lifted the lid on his real relationship with Lucy Pargeter.
The two soap stars play onscreen couple, Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle, on the long-running ITV show. The couple has been going through a dramatic time in the Yorkshire village as Chas was having an affair with Al Chapman.
Paddy discovered Chas' secret in recent episodes and seems set on ending their marriage. The plot has incensed fans as they were outraged Chas had an affair while her mum, Faith, was dying from cancer.

Dominic has taken to Twitter to thank fans for getting so emotionally involved in the episodes. And he, fortunately, assured viewers that Lucy couldn't be more different from her onscreen persona as he hailed her acting ability.
He said: "I mean.. Thank you very muchly. Sincerely. Glad you’re enjoying the episodes. They were immense fun to film. Just a quick note to say @lucyparge is playing a part, and is one of my best mates, and is one of the best actors I have EVER had the good fortune to work with. There."
Lucy took to the comments to echo Dominic's praise. She said: "Oh Dom ... The feeling is mutual."
