The actress was visibly shocked at the result, saying "I'm really not prepared - I don't know who to thank! I love working at Emmerdale, it's a social place. This award is for the families out there who have lost their beautiful babies, I really hope we've done them justice." It's the first British Soap Award for Pargeter in her 17 years on Emmerdale.

Chas and partner Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) have been at the centre of Emmerdale over the last year as they were forced to say goodbye to their baby daughter Grace, who tragically only lived for a few hours due to the fatal condition renal agenesis.

Hopefully there are happier times ahead for the character who is now pregnant again, with a recent scan revealing all was well with the baby.
