Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter says her children are more important than having an ‘unrealistic’ post baby body that some celebrities portray
Emmerdale actress Lucy Pargeter admitted her children are more important than having a perfect post baby body that celebrities are pressured to have.
The 42-year-old, who had twin girls through IVF in 2017, revealed that her body looks different after having children but she is tired of stars portraying an unrealistic image of being a mother.
She told The Mirror: ‘I’d rather be the reality of someone who has just had a child than the unrealistic version some people portray.

‘I don’t look how I used to – there are a few things I’m not happy with – but right now my children are my priority and I come second.’
Lucy, who played Chas Dingle in the ITV soap, also praised the Duchess of Sussex for showing her post-baby bump after giving birth to the royal baby.
She said: ‘Thank goodness, Meghan didn’t disguise her bump, she was the reality of what happens – you still have a tummy!’.
Lucy says she doesn’t feel pressured to go to the gym and would prefer to spend time with her children rather than fit a workout into her already hectic schedule.
