Lister: 'Public want Carl, Chas together'

Emmerdale star Tom Lister has claimed that viewers would prefer to see his alter ego Carl stick by Chas.

The 32-year-old actor, who has played the businessman since 2004, teased the pair's upcoming wedding.

Speaking to Holy Soap, the star spoke in light of his character's affair with fellow resident Eve, which Chas (Lucy Pargeter) is plotting revenge over.

Lister said: "Carl certainly deserves to get what's coming to him, but in the same breath they probably deserve to be together.

"Although they're an absolute nightmare and it's the most turbulent relationship there is, they just seem to work so well."

He added: "And the public just seem to want them together. Although people have been slating me and saying they can't wait for Chas to punch me in the face, in the same breath they say they hope it works out because they're meant to be together. It's funny how the audience just loves them as a couple."
