Jon Dingle is the youngest child and only daughter of Lilith Dingle. She appeared in 2004, and from 2006 to 2007.
Jon first visits Emmerdale in October 2004 for a Dingle family celebration to mark their 10th anniversary of living in the village. Her mother Lilith then leaves Jon and her brothers to live with her cousin Marlon Dingle for a month. Jon returns in 2006 when Lilith leaves her children with Marlon and his wife Donna while she goes away to work. Days later, Lilith is arrested for armed robbery.
Marlon tells social services that he is having difficulties looking after them, so its agreed that they will go and stay with a foster family. They are soon informed that the children have gone missing and are found in a nearby woodland. The following day, they are taken into foster care. Marlon and Donna desperately try to get the children back but first have to find suitable accommodation. This finally happens when they buy Tall Tree Cottage, and the children move in on 5 July. However, the case against their mother collapses and on 13 July 2007, she takes them to Ireland, much to Donna and Marlon's distress.
