Fans of Emmerdale have been shocked after learning Lydia Dingle actress Karen Blick's real age as she celebrates her birthday. <\/p>\n
Karen recently celebrated her birthday, and posted a series of snaps to Instagram to commemorate the occasion. Fans of the hit ITV soap swamped the actress' comments section to offer their best wishes as she marked the happy day. <\/p>\n
The slew of pics included a photo where Blick could be seen smiling joyfully to the camera in a gorgeous selfie, as she wrapped up warm to combat the weather getting colder. Another few snaps of the carousel included some of the gifts she had received from her nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n

But fans were about to be shocked, as she wrote in caption: "Last year of my 40s! Had a great day so far and feeling very grateful."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She continued her post, writing: "Morning walk, lovely cards, messages, homemade gifts and cake!". She ended her fitting tribute to her family and friends with a kiss.<\/p>\n
Those who had wished Karen well on her Instagram were left stunned as they worked out that Karen was celebrating her 49th birthday. Many fans could not believe that she had reached the age, with one writing: "No way are you 49! I thought you were much younger, Karen."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A second user, also clearly shocked at the information, also wished Blick well: "Happy birthday Karen, I thought you were late 30s… you look amazing!" Whilst a third account joined in on the love, commenting: "Wishing you a very happy birthday Karen! I can't believe you're 49 – certainly don't look it."<\/p>\n
In addition to the enslaught of fans wishing her well, some of Karen's ITV co-stars paid tribute to the Lydia actress. Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle on the soap also gave her some love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Karen is in the midst of a horrific storyline after her character Lydia was the victim of a horrendous rape at the hands of former boyfriend Craig. In tense scenes aired on Thursday (November 2), it was revealed that Craig had been killed after Kim Tate's horse knocked him out and Cain Dingle talked Kim out of seeking help for the rapist.<\/p>\n
Emmerdale airs every weekday at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/i><\/p>\n
