Emmerdale Alice Dingle star now - quitting acting, tough divorce and image overhaul

dailystar.co.uk:

Emmerdale mum was married to Sam Dingle, and together they welcomed a son, Samson, before Alice died of cancer that spread to her brain.

With Samson going through a tough spot at the moment thanks to Amelia Spencer, who is embroiled in a body image plot and determined to make it big on Instagram, he could probably use his mum’s support more than ever.But where is actress Ursula Holden Gill now?

Since she left Emmerdale for good in 2006, she’s been plenty busy - though she has now quit acting altogether after landing a regular role in CBBC series Wolfblood.Daily Star takes a look inside Ursula’s life now.It’s fair to say Ursula looks a lot different from her days on the soap, where she was used to sporting a short crop of fiery red hair, sometimes hidden under a black wool cap.Now Ursula sports a slightly longer hairstyle, with her brunette tresses falling almost to her chin, and tends to opt for plenty of traditional yet stylish outfits, including bright floral dresses and embroidered cardigans.In one recent snap, Ursula wore her brunette curls atop her head in an artfully messy style, pairing her look with a burgundy polka dot dress and velvet black jacket emblazoned with red roses.A floral pendant completed her outfit as Ursula beamed at the camera, opting to go make-up free for the stylish snap.Ursula has now quit acting, with her last on-screen role coming as a clerk in the TV mini-series In The Dark back in 2017.She also made waves in CBBC series Wolfblood after quitting Emmerdale, playing Miss Fitzgerald from 2012 until 2014, and before that had a regular stint as Carol in Teachers from 2001 until 2004.Now, however, Ursula has pursued a different career entirely, as she is a professional storyteller.She is even.
