Amy Walsh shares secret struggle during Soap Awards after 'horrifying' incident
Emmerdale's Amy Walsh has spoken out about her wardrobe malfunction at the British Soap Awards - and revealed how her co-stars came to her rescue during her 'horrifying' incident
Emmerdale star Amy Walsh has opened up about suffering a "horrifying" wardrobe malfunction at the British Soap Awards, leaning on her co-stars to stay covered up. The soap star is best known for playing Tracy Robinson, who is currently wrapped up in a police investigation over her husband Nate's recent death.
At the end of last month, Amy attended the British Soap Awards with the rest of her Emmerdale colleagues - but opened on social media afterwards that the evening took a chaotic turn when her zip broke. Now, Amy has opened up about her outfit crisis in a live interview on This Morning.
Speaking to hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, Amy said: "I wish I'd never mentioned this on my social media. I felt for once not self-conscious and I just thought you know, I'm having this, everyone loved the dress.
"Half way through the ceremony, the zip just popped. I felt it, it was like a ping. It was like, 'Oh my goodness.' My friend looked and her face went drip white. She was horrified for me, Natalie Ann Jamieson."
She added that despite trying, Natalie couldn't zip up the dress. She added: "Every time we had to stand up, I was thinking, 'Please don't win, please don't win.' Every time she was covering my back so the camera didn't get us.
"Lovely Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie, saw how much I was struggling and he just dropped his jacket over my shoulders. What a guy."
Last month, Amy revealed that she couldn't stop crying as she filmed her last scenes with Jurell Carter, who plays Nate Robinson. She explained: "The main person she is thinking of in all of this is Frankie. She doesn't want to tell her and she puts it off for a day.
"There's a really sad scene where she says she just wants to give her one last night's sleep without that. That broke me filming that because it's heartbreaking that whole concept of her losing him as a dad and how amazing he was as a dad to her, and weirdly how amazing Jurell was with our Frankie actress Eden. It pulls on the heartstrings a bit for me I have to say."
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX.

Brit influencer and husband feared dead in Air India plane crash hours after final post
Wellness guru Jamie Meek and husband Fiongal Greenlaw posted a video from Ahmedabad airport just moments before boarding the ill-fated plane. A British influencer and his husband are among those feared dead after an Air India plane heading to London Gatwick smashed into a college with hundreds on board. Just moments before boarding the ill-fated plane, wellness guru Jamie Meek and husband Fiongal Greenlaw posted a video from Ahmedabad airport. As reported by the Mirror, Meek, 45, and Greenlaw, 39, co-founded the Wellness Foundry, a company promoting holistic living. The couple, who are based in London, had been on a holiday in India and had previously made appearances on ITV's This Morning to showcase their wellness brand. The final video shared from the airport showed the couple in vibrant floral shirts, smiling and relaxed as they prepared to fly home. In the clip, Fiongal says, 'We are at the airport just boarding. Goodbye India. Ten-hour flight back to England. What was your biggest takeaway Jamie?' to which Jamie replies, 'I don't know,' prompting laughter from Fiongal who responds 'thanks for your contribution.' Fiongal then jokingly says his takeaway was 'don't lose your patience with your partner,' to which Jamie replied 'you snapped at me at the airport for having chai.' Fiongal, who is surrounded by fellow travellers, ends the clip by saying he's returning to the UK 'happily, happily calm.' Earlier videos captured highlights of their time in Ahmedabad, including scenes from a luxury hotel following a long car journey. Fiongal can be seen in one clip stretched out on a large bed, showcasing a swing in their room, calling the space 'beautiful' and adding he is 'feeling very, very happy.' The couple are believed to have spent two weeks in India, documenting their travels through numerous social media updates. Their shared content included moments such as getting henna tattoos, shopping for textiles, and navigating bustling streets in a tuk-tuk. Fiongal posted a message just one day before the crash marking the end of their trip: 'So, it's our last night in India and we've had a magical experience. Some mind-blowing things have happened. We are going to put all this together and create a vlog. It's my first ever vlog about the whole trip and we want to share it.' Of the 242 people onboard Air India Flight 171, at least 204 bodies have been recovered from the crash site near Ahmedabad Airport, a local police chief said. Part of the jet fell on top of the dining area of B.J. Medical College, killing at least five medical students and injuring almost 50. Miracolously, British national Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, who was onboard the flight says he survived the deadly crash. Tata Sons, which owns Air India, will offer around £86,000 to the families of each person who died in the Ahmedabad plane crash, the company said.

Fern Britton shares why she quit This Morning – but it's not what people expect
Highly regarded television presenter Fern Britton has opened up on her decision to leave This Morning in 2009 after spending an impressive 16 years working on the ITV show Fern Britton has discussed her decision to leave the popular ITV show This Morning in 2009, after years as a presenter on the programme. The 67-year-old began her broadcasting career as a newsreader on local radio stations, gradually working her way up to become the BBC's youngest national news presenter on Breakfast Time. She later took on various roles before joining GMTV as a presenter in 1993. That same year, she started guest presenting on ITV's This Morning, and by 1999, she had landed a permanent role on the show, co-presenting the Friday slot alongside John Leslie. Her role on the show became even more regular in 2002, when she began presenting alongside Phillip Schofield. However, seven years later, Fern decided to leave the programme, sparking rumours about the reasons behind her departure. There were widespread reports of a fallout with co-host Phillip, which he later commented on in his memoir, stating that their relationship "turned sour". Fern has also previously mentioned to Good Housekeeping that they are no longer friends, saying "we don't really (speak anymore)". In a recent interview on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, Fern sought to provide some clarity on the situation. Revealing the key reason for her decision to step away from the show, she said: "Well, it's 17 years ago, it's a long time. And I haven't really thought about that for a long time. I had a fantastic 10 years and I loved it." She continued: "But then after a bit, I needed to be back home again, as lots of things were going on. But the boys were about to do their A Levels, going into the two years of that, and the girls as well were leaving little school to go up. I was needed at home, and they needed to come home and know there was chicken in the oven." Since her departure from the show in 2009, Fern has been a constant figure on television, participating in some of the nation's favourite reality TV programmes, including a stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012 where she was the fifth star to be voted off. Last year, Fern took part in ITV's Celebrity Big Brother, where she reached the final, ultimately losing out to David Potts who took home the crown. However, fans can look forward to her return to television in the near future with her very own series, Fern Britton: Inside the Vet's. The six-part series will follow Fern alongside TV vet James Greenwood as they delve into the daily workings of veterinary life, covering everything from vaccinations and sprays to dentistry and surgeries. The much-anticipated Fern Britton: Inside the Vet's is expected to premiere next month.
