Chris Chittell: Emmerdale's Eric Pollard causes a stir with epic blunder 'Lost your s**t!'

Chris Chittell, 72, who plays Eric Pollard in ITV soap Emmerdale, has shared his haircut with bewildered Facebook followers. The actor’s handiwork was so bad that some of his co-stars and fans mocked him mercilessly for his new tresses.

Jeff Hordley who portrays series regular Cain on the show, told the Metro: “There are new regulations about working in the studio and we are having to adhere to the two-meter ruling on and around the set. 

“This means that the scenes are almost choreographed like a dance. So you come into a space and the other actor has to be two meters away and then you will be told to move somewhere else so they can move too. 

“It feels like a dance always keeping a two-meter distance,” he added.

The size of the crew has also been cut down which has made the set feel more intimate.
