Emmerdale Star Opens Up About ‘Excruciating’ Karaoke Scene
Tonight’s episode of Emmerdale brought viewers a moment that had everyone talking, and the spotlight is on Chris Coghill, who plays Kev Townsend. The scene, which unfolded at a lively karaoke party, saw Kev bravely take the microphone and serenade Robert Sugden, played by Ryan Hawley, in an attempt to win back his heart. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, and fans couldn’t stop laughing—and cringing—at Kev’s struggle with the high notes and his emotional vulnerability.
The reaction online was immediate. Viewers flooded social media, wondering how many takes it took to capture such a memorable, and admittedly excruciating, performance. To answer their curiosity, Chris shared a behind-the-scenes clip on Instagram, giving fans a peek at the full performance and confirming that it was actually filmed in a single take. “First of all… thank you for the love for Kev,” he wrote, “secondly, a few people have asked how many takes it took to film tonight’s ‘singing’… the answer is I did the full song all the way through once. SO… under extreme duress from production here is the most utterly excruciating four minutes of my life.”

The clip was met with immediate praise and support from his Emmerdale castmates. Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle, described it as “easily one of the funniest and most heartbreaking scenes I’ve ever done.” Amy Walsh, known for her role as Tracy Shankley, called it “iconic,” while Kevin Mathurin, who portrays Charles Anderson, declared it “TV gold.” Other cast members, including Isabel Hodgins and Bradley Johnson, joined in with praise, and even EastEnders star Navin Chowdhry admitted he “cannot stop watching this.”
Kev Townsend has quickly become a fan favorite since his arrival in the village this autumn. Despite his shocking revelation as Robert’s husband—causing some turbulence for Robron fans—Kev has endeared himself to the audience with his charm and vulnerability. Recently, his storyline has been intense, including a dramatic vow renewal under the pretense of a terminal illness. However, it was revealed by Dr. Liam Cavanagh that Kev actually has many years ahead of him, which adds a complex layer to his attempts to rekindle his relationship with Robert.
With Robert still convinced that Kev’s days are limited, the tension remains high. Fans are left wondering whether Kev’s heartfelt karaoke performance is enough to win back Robert’s love or if the saga of Robron has reached its dramatic turning point. Either way, tonight’s episode gave viewers a perfect blend of humor, emotion, and classic Emmerdale drama that will be remembered for a long time.
It’s clear that Chris Coghill’s dedication, combined with a perfectly excruciating performance, has created a standout moment in the soap that fans—and cast alike—won’t soon forget.
