Emmerdale legend Hayley Tamaddon has confirmed she would return to the
ITV soap ‘in a heartbeat’, after receiving ‘so many messages’ from viewers currently
watching classic episodes. Hayley played the role of Delilah Dingle in the
Yorkshire-based soap from 2005 to 2007, and had numerous memorable storylines. Delilah arrived in the Emmerdale village with a bang, having abandoned her wedding to fiancé Jay, who she later parted ways with.
During her time in village, Delilah began working for Val and Eric Pollard (Charlie Hardwick and Chris Chittell) as a seamstress, before developing feelings for Carl King (Tom Lister). After discovering that he was still in love with her cousin Chas (Lucy Pargeter), Delilah helped him win her back, before moving on with David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden).
