Thought to be the deceased Father of Zak, in fact he hd walked out on his family when Zak was only 8 years old - this was revealed in March 2002. He had been married to Peg with whom he has at least five sons - probably more. Jed appeared in Emmerdale on the 17th December 2002 on his death bed and revealed to Zak that he had a lost fortune in Chile. This will lead to Zak's exit storyline.

Zak and Nellie referred to hin in the episode of 25 May 1995. It seems he is one of the few Dingles who has actually worked for a living. However he got fired from his job after stealing from his workplace's kitchen bins. He was referred to again in October 1995. At some point he had been sentenced to ten years in prison after stealing a car along with its caravan. |

Zak warned his family to stay clear of the Skipdale branch of the family. |
