Ms Pargeter, who plays Chas Dingle in the Yorkshire-based soap, said that she and police would 'like to know' the identity of two men who approached her friend's Range Rover in Burton Street.

They walked up to the vehicle, with one telling the occupants to get out of the car.

The driver drove off and police were called.
