Emmerdale’s Moira Dingle actress Natalie J. Robb has opened up about her character’s time on the soap, and why she can’t watch back a particular scene. Natalie, 50, joined the ITV drama back in 2009 as part of a new farming family, the Bartons, following appearances in the likes of EastEnders, Holby City and Taggart and The Bill.
Over time, financial worries and emotional distance drove a wedge between the pair, and Moira then began an affair with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), which John discovered after Cain taunted him about it.
After John asked Moira to leave, the pair later rekindled before tragedy struck and a car accident took John’s life while Moira survived.
Natalie’s character went on to marry Cain in 2014, and despite his recent betrayal and a brief split, they remain together currently.
Reflecting on her change-up of partners in Emmerdale, the actress admitted she still can’t watch back her first raunchy scenes with Jeff.
Sharing her initial reaction to their affair storyline, Natalie said it was “a shock” at first to both her and her now on-screen husband.
