Emmerdale star Rebecca Sarker revealed her own son has criticised her “inappropriate” outfit choices.
The 48-year-old actress, who plays Manpreet Sharma on the ITV soap, has two sons - aged 11 and 16 - and admitted one of her children hates what she wears.
Talking about her outfit at the TRIC awards last month, Rebecca joked it was “inappropriate for a 48-year-old.”
And when asked who had told her that, she quipped: “My son.”
The actress caused a stir at the bash when she wore a floral crop top, tiny blue shorts and orange strappy sandals to the prestigious ceremony, with some criticising her summer casual style.

“You become friends on a show like this, when you work so closely to someone it's absolutely natural that you would keep in touch,” the mum-of-two added.
