Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter on devastating breast cancer storyline and her hilarious nickname for her boobs
Lucy Pargeter reveals how she hopes her breast cancer storyline encourages women to check their boobs and says it's much easier for her now she's had her implants removed - which she had a hilarious name for
Emmerdale landlady Chas Dingle is one of soap's biggest and bravest characters - so her new breast cancer storyline is an emotional wrench for actress Lucy Pargeter. On screen, Chas learns her cancer is caused by the faulty BRCA2 gene and that her children Aaron (Danny Miller) and Eve could have inherited it. Chas’s lump was found by Dr Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) during a passionate clinch and Lucy says that she takes exactly the same approach herself, laughing, “I try to get somebody else to check my boobs and incorporate it into a more fun event!” Joking aside, since Lucy had her DD breast implants removed in 2019 after 11 years, she’s found checking her breasts for any lumps or changes to be much easier.
