Chambers is well known in England for her long-standing role as Alice Tinker in the BBC’s popular sitcom “The Vicar of Dibley.” The series ran for more than a decade.
British actress Dawn French, who starred alongside Chambers in the sitcom, tweeted a photo of the two together, adding “I loved her. A lot.”
She tied the knot in 1991 at a low-key ceremony in New Forest and described her marriage as ‘glorious’ in an interview in January this year.
