What happened to Noah Dingle’s dad?

Chris Tate left Emmerdale in 2003 after he poisoned himself in a bid to frame his wife.

In late 2003 he threw Charity out after discovering that she had been having an affair with her cousin Cain.

Learning that he had an inoperable brain tumour and only months to live, Chris began frittering away all his money to ensure Charity would be left with nothing.

After saying a tearful goodbye to Zoe (Leah Bracknell) and Joseph Tate, he then arranged a meeting with Charity where he committed suicide and died on the floor of Home Farm.

In April 2004, Charity then gave birth to Noah and after Zoe did a DNA Test, Chris was revealed to be his father.
