Brave BGT star inspired Emmerdale Faith Dingle's heartbreaking final storyline

The widow of a Britain's Got Talent star has recalled how his late wife's story inspired an upcoming Emmerdale storyline.

Tina Humphrey, who wowed audiences on the ITV talent show in 2010 with her dancing dog Chandi, died aged 45 after a battle with cancer. She swallowed a lethal cocktail of drugs before turning to husband Steve and telling him how much she loved him as she held his hand.

Steve is now honouring his wife’s memory by working alongside Emmerdale to ensure Faith Dingle's final storyline is executed sensitively and with compassion, as viewers of the ITV soap prepare to bid farewell to Dingle matriarch as she makes the decision to put an end to her cancer suffering and take her own life.
