MailOnline has contacted Emmerdale and representatives for the pair for comment.  

A few days before Christmas, it was reported that Charley, who shares Buster, 11, six-year-old Bowie and Ace, two, with Matthew, is quitting Emmerdale following an alleged racism row involving her husband.

The soap star, who has played Debbie for 19 years, is said to be quitting the popular ITV soap ‘for good’.

An insider claimed that husband Matthew’s involvement in an alleged racism bullying row on set ‘fuelled her decision’.   

Charley’s character Debbie, who is living in Scotland, has been absent from the show since the start of 2021. 

A spokeswoman for Emmerdale told MailOnline at the time: ‘There are no current plans for Debbie Dingle to return.’

‘Charley is closing the door on Emmerdale for good and won’t be going back,’ they told The Sun.

‘The past few months have given her time to think about the future and it is one that doesn’t involve Emmerdale. Matthew being caught up in the row on set fuelled her decision to step away’. 

In October, Matthew was accused of making an inappropriate comment to a mixed-race female cast member on set.

He and Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden, were also facing claims that the mixed-race actress’s accent was ‘mimicked’. They have both denied the allegations.

It was later alleged that he had also had a row with Aaron Anthony, who plays Ellis Chapman.

Anthony, 28, has reportedly told Emmerdale bosses that he will quit the show when his contract expires.
