Emmerdale cast poke fun at Lucy Pargeter's bad on-screen habit

Emmerdale has unveiled star Lucy Pargeter's rather gross habit on set, with many of the show's stars poking fun at their fellow actress.

The Chas Dingle actress opened up about her propensity to burp as part of outtakes on Soap Slip Ups at Christmas on ITV, which aired last night (January 4).

Speaking on the show, Marlon actor Mark Charnock began by noting: "Has she talked about this yet? Is she going to be alright with it?"

"Is it a montage of me burping? [Because] this could go on for hours!" Lucy joked, before the episode showed a montage of her gassy moments.

She says at one point on set: "That's got to be it now, I've been very bad all day."

"All day? All decade!" Mark quipped in his reply.

"She... has... wind. She is just a burpy human," he added in a VT.

"I think she blames uncooked spices, quite a lot!" Paddy Kirk actor Dominic Brunt noted of her excuses for the habit.

"I drink a lot of fermented green tea," Lucy went on to reveal. "Everyone's used to it, apart from when you have guest artists sometimes that come on set."

Some of the show's stars then admitted that guest stars are somewhat thrown when they witness Lucy's habit, the star admitting: "I'm just windy, I'm sorry!"

We're sure anyone not acquainted would get a bit of a shock – but better out than in, as they say.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
