Body double covers for 'Emmerdale' actress

Lucy Pargeter has been forced to use a body double so that she does not get hurt during an Emmerdale fight scene.

Pargeter's character, Chastity Dingle, is to take part in a dramatic fight with Chloe Atkinson, played by Amy Nuttall.

However, as Lucy is pregnant, the soap's producers are bringing in a body double to film the scenes.

"I go mad at Chloe and it is quite physical," Pargeter told The Sun. "We have a stunt double in case things get a bit too fiery."

Lucy and fiance Rudi Coleano are expecting a baby in June.
