Emmerdale Actress Engaged to Convicted Drug Lord in Prison

Emmerdale actress Lucy Pargeter is reportedly engaged to Elliott Walker, a convicted drug gang member serving a six-year sentence for his involvement in one of Britain's largest amphetamine factories. Walker supplied equipment for a major methamphetamine lab in Warwickshire, capable of producing 400 kilograms of amphetamine monthly, with a street value of around £10 million. Pargeter has been visiting Walker at HMP Hollesley Bay in Suffolk, and their relationship has attracted attention among inmates and prison visitors due to her celebrity status. The couple's relationship became public after Pargeter appeared on a podcast in 2022 mentioning a new exclusive relationship, and she has been seen wearing a large diamond engagement ring. Walker is reportedly nearing his release date, and once freed, he would become stepfather to Pargeter's three daughters, whom she shares with her former long-term partner. The actress, known for her role as Chas Dingle on Emmerdale since 2002, has not publicly commented on the relationship.
