Emmerdale love triangle storyline stirs real-life affair memories

Samantha had an affair with Claire's husband

Emmerdale has pitted Kim Tate against Bernice Blackstock in a war for the heart of Will Taylor this Christmas.

But many fans feel the storyline makes for somewhat uncomfortable viewing given the actresses’ history in real life.

Samantha Giles, who plays Bernice, had an affair with Peter Amory, who was married to Claire King (aka Kim) at the time.
