Vicar of Dibley star dies of heart attack
EMMA Chambers, a muchloved star of The Vicar Of Dibley and Notting Hill, has died aged just 53.
She passed away on Wednesday but her death from natural causes was only announced in the UK at the weekend.
Dawn French paid tribute to her former comedy co-star, saying: “Emma was a very bright spark and the most loyal and loving friend anyone could wish for. I will miss her very much.”
BBC comedy chief Jon Plowman, executive producer of The Vicar Of Dibley, said the actor had died of a heart attack. “She was so young,” he said. “It’s no age, really, to have a heart attack.”
Her role alongside French in the hit sitcom The Vicar Of Dibley really made her name as she played the dimwitted but loveable Alice Tinker.
