Waterloo Road star Lindsey Coulson’s first marriage to husband Philip Chard
Lindsey’s first marriage was to showbiz agent Philip Chard. The couple were married from 1989 to 1996 and share a daughter, Grace, together.
In 1996, their marriage was hit with infidelity claims. It followed reports Lindsey had embarked on an affair with one of her EastEnders co-stars – something she has always denied.
It was alleged that her husband thought Lindsey was having a real-life affair with Michael French – who played her on-screen love interest David Wicks.
