Tracey Wilkinson


Tracey Wilkinson is an English actress primarily known for her role as Di Barker in the series Bad Girls. She joined the prison drama in Series 2 as a prison officer new to G-Wing, but by the end of her time on the programme Di was herself behind bars in the prison in which she had served as an officer, suspected of killing her second husband, corrupt Wing Governor, Jim Fenner - though she was in fact innocent of the crime.
Tracey Wilkinson left Bad Girls in between the filming of the 2005 Christmas Special and the beginning of Series 8 and the fate of Di Barker remains unresolved, though she has presumably been transferred from G-Wing.
