It's been 28 years since Emmerdale fans last saw Tina Dingle as she swapped the Dales for London on Christmas Eve in 1996.

Her character left the cobbles in 2001 and it was later revealed she had wed another rich man in Dublin the following year. Jacqueline's Corrie storyline won her Best Storyline at the British Soap Awards.

It was while Jacqueline starred on Corrie that she met her husband Simon. Speaking to Victoria News in 2013 about the first time she saw her husband, who was working as a part-time firefighter at the time, she said: ⁘I thought, 'Oh my God, he's lovely.' I asked his name but he didn't answer and ran away really fast. I called out for him to leave his number at the desk. … From there, I found him, stalked him and interviewed him. We were married three months later.⁘

The pair told the press office at Corrie that they had decided to marry at Florida's Disney World, but instead ventured to Scotland to wed in private with two strangers as witnesses.

Jacqueline quit Corrie - reportedly declining a 'record-breaking £250,000, two-year contract - and took a break from acting. ⁘I was seven months along and I had to film a scene where Mike slapped me in the face … three times. It just didn't feel right," she previously said. ⁘I was overworked. It was 14-hour days, six days a week. On my day off I was learning my lines for next week. They left the storyline open and asked me to come back but I said 'no.'⁘

In 2004, began her own performing arts workshop and, three years later, set up a drama school in her hometown of Stirling. The Jacqueline Chadwick was dissolved on March 16th 2010, according to documents filed to Companies House.
