Lisa Riley will miss the ITV Soap Awards owing to a 'family situation,' but the Emmerdale cast is sending her love.

Emmerdale's Dingle family expressed their heartfelt condolences to Lisa Riley, who was unable to attend the ITV Soap Awards on Saturday night due to a "family matter" (June 11). As the actors came up to accept the Best Family award, James Hooton, who plays Sam Dingle, gave the opening statement. Riley was unable to attend the awards due to a "family situation," he claimed. It comes after the Emmerdale star announced the death of her nana yesterday (June 10). Hooton said he wanted to say hello to the actress "who is not here tonight because she's got a family issue". He added: "So lots of love to Lisa." https://9dfeeebnt3q4txsqn0ro1d7y4d.hop.clickbank.net Lisa, who was watching along at home, wrote on Instagram: "CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DINGLE FAMILY @thebritishsoapawards @emmerdale just an average day for the “DINGLES” scrapping in the street #proud #family #awards #dingles #emmerdale I am and always will be proud to be a DINGLE!!!
