Emmerdale’s Lucy Pargeter leaves Ben Shephard floored with swipe at beloved BBC star on Tipping Point

EMMERDALE actress Lucy Pargeter admitted she has never heard of a popular BBC actor during her appearance on a celebrity special of Tipping Point.

The ITV quiz show welcomed three famous faces to compete in an attempt to win some money for their chosen charities.

Ben Shephard, 48, watched over proceedings as Lucy, 45, was joined by comedian Sara Pascoe and rugby legend Joe Marler.

One of Lucy’s answers proved to be a stand out moment for show host Ben when she revealed she has never heard of actor Aidan Gillen from Game of Thrones and also known for his performance in popular BBC drama Peaky Blinders.

Lucy had managed to beat off the stiff competition from Sara and Joe for a chance to win a staggering £20,000 for the charity, Women’s Aid.

During her final round, Ben asked the Emmerdale star: “In the HBO series Game of Thrones, the character Petyr Baelish, played by Aidan Gillen, is known by what other name?”

Lucy appeared stumped at the question and went onto admit that she hadn’t watched much of the series.

Show host Ben then asked the actress:  “Do you know the actor Aidan Gillen?”

Frankly Lucy confessed she was unaware of who the actor was.

The star looked up as she told Ben: “No, babe!”

Ben was left giggling that Lucy was unable to recall the popular star.

Lucy has had quite the ride over the past few months on the ITV soap opera as Chas Dingle.

Chas has been central to all the show’s high-profile storylines thanks to her affair with Al Chapman, her mother’s death, the storm that killed Liv, the breakdown of her marriage and discovering a brother she never knew about.

Tipping Point airs at 4pm on ITV.
