Keira Knightley has revealed that she is a huge fan of ITV1 soap Emmerdale.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actress claimed that the Yorkshire-based show is far more enjoyable than its rival soaps.

"It's well acted and more of a drama than a soap," Keira is quoted by The Mirror as saying.

"I find certain other shows depressing."
