Emmerdale's Nick Miles has attacked TV awards shows for being biased towards rival ITV soap Coronation Street.

Speaking about the Yorkshire-based soap's lack of recognition at the recent TV Quick/TV Choice awards, Miles suggested there may be an element of favouritism towards Corrie.

The 45-year-old - who has played the character of Jimmy King since 2004 - told The Sun: "After a while, you think that Corrie would even win the gong for best Dingle.

"I was very surprised that Joseph Gilgun, who plays Eli Dingle, didn’t get the Best Newcomer award."

He continued: “Emmerdale’s ‘Who killed Tom King?’ storyline was ground-breaking because of the interactive element we had with viewers. We should have won something but those who run these awards seem to like Corrie."

The actor's 30-year-old co-star Lucy Partgeter, who plays Chas Dingle in the Yorkshire soap, added that she believes the show's popularity means it should get more chances to go head-to-head against EastEnders.

She said: "We don’t seem to get the recognition we deserve but every time we go up against EastEnders we beat them."

She added: "It would be nice to see if Corrie could do as well as us against EastEnders. Maybe we could change slots for a while."

I like Emmerdale, but Tom King wasnt the best storyline it was long and drawn out, and at the mo, Emmerdale seems a bit drab, hopefully the fire will perk it up

Same here Chewy, I just watch E4 Hollyoaks. I was hookedon Emmerdale at one point, but now I have to forve myself to watch it

[Ruth*Star]

Atm i'm only following EE (By the onimbuses) and Hollyoaks (watching everynight) and i watch Emmerdale here and there but there's nothing great about it at the moment.

I have to admit I actually kind of enjoyed Fight Night tonight

oh but remeber the storyline when Debbies mom left the village!!!it was so sad and the backround music was realy sad too to me that was the best soap storyline ever and nothing will ever beat it!!!

[Scarlett.]

actually I think Mike Baldwins death beat it, I was in tears when Danny was holding him

I think he is right. ITV has always been bias in favour for Corrie, Corrie always win awards, when really, this year Hollyoaks, Eastnders and even Emmeradle has been way better then Corrie. I can't stand Corrie.

IMO next year Hollyoaks desevers alot of awards, Eastenders to. No doubt Corrie will win everyting

Hollyoaks has an avarage of 1.5 Million viewers
Emmerdale 6 Million
Eastenders 7.5 Million
Coronation Street 9 Million

Kinda self explanatory why it wins

[XxShortyxX]

I think Hollyoaks has more then that. I read not so long a go that the ratings have gone right up. And on Friday Eastenders got 11.4 Million viewers.
