ITV Emmerdale's Faith Dingle actress Sally Dexter says cancer storyline 'tough to film'

Emmerdale actress Sally Dexter has said her character's current "emotional" storyline has been "tough to film."

The 62-year-old plays Faith Dingle on the ITV soap and the character has recently learned her cancer has returned - only this time it is incurable. Faith has since been putting on a brave face and not wanting to put the burden of her health onto her kids, Chas and Cain, she has decided to keep it a secret from them.

The only people who know of her devastating diagnosis are daughter-in-law Moira Dingle and nurse Wendy Posner. However, in upcoming scenes, Faith's family will finally learn the heartbreaking truth about her secondary cancer diagnosis.
