Lin Chong
In late 1989, Cook married for the third time, to Malaysian-born property developer Chiew Lin Chong (1945–2016), in Torbay, Devon. She provided him with some stability in his personal life, and he reduced his drinking to the extent that for a time he was teetotal. He lived alone in a small 18th-century house in Perrins Walk, Hampstead, while she kept her own property just away.
