In a heartbreaking moment for *Emmerdale* fans, Eden Taylor-Draper, who portrays Bell Dingle on the beloved ITV soap, was snubbed at the 2024 National Television Awards, leaving many viewers outraged. Despite being widely praised for her incredible performance in a challenging storyline involving a coercive and controlling relationship, Eden missed out on the top prize, with the award going to *Coronation Street*’s Peter Ash, whose portrayal of a mental health struggle deeply resonated with audiences.

Fans took to social media, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter), to voice their disappointment, with many feeling that Eden was unfairly overlooked. One fan tweeted, “Yes, Peter Ash has been excellent, but Eden Taylor-Draper was robbed!” The sentiment was echoed across the platform, as countless viewers expressed their support for the Selby-born actress, who has been part of *Emmerdale* since the age of 8.

Despite the upset, Eden’s career is already decorated with accolades, including the Best Dramatic Performance by a Young Actor or Actress at the British Soap Awards and the Best Young Actor Award at the Inside Soap Awards. Fans remain confident that, although she missed out this time, Eden’s talent will continue to shine, and more recognition will come her way.
