Lister: Fans want Carl-Chas reunion

Emmerdale's Tom Lister has revealed fans of the soap are always asking when Carl King and Chas Dingle will get back together.

Things have been hotting up between Carl - who was dumped by Chas (Lucy Pargeter) in 2010 after she learned he was unfaithful - and new arrival Megan Macey (Gaynor Faye).

But Tom told Daybreak: "Whenever I go out anywhere everyone always asks, 'Are Carl and Chas going to get back together?' Myself and Lucy always get asked that but you never know which way it's going to go."

He added: "Carl and [Megan] start to hit it off but neither of them wants to let the other one have the upper hand so they're on, they're off, they're on, they're off and it's all a little bit like that for the next while."

And the actor - who is running the London Marathon this weekend with some of his Emmerdale co-stars - confessed his steamy scenes with Megan weren't so passionate in real life.

"It's never quite as it looks, because you've normally got about 20 people all stood around and the make-up girls come in and give you a wet wipe to take some lipstick off your mouth," he laughed.
