Quick overview:
The actress beamed as she shared the exciting news
Lisa Riley announced her big “surprise” as she took to Instagram to thank any fans who showed up to the Emmerdale tour.
The 48-year-old star is best known for her long-standing role as Mandy Dingle on Emmerdale. Lisa first appeared on the ITV show in 1995.
Her character Mandy is currently married to Paddy Dingle after the pair faced a lot of ups and downs in their relationship – including a cheating scandal.
Mandy had a close shave recently as she swapped places with Liam last minute in the limo so that he could propose to Chas. Instead of being in the limo that crashed into the frozen lake, she instead escaped icy peril
Not to mention her recent close call when Ella Forster returned to the village determined to prove her innocence after Chas accused Ella of drugging her.
Ella forced Mandy to get Liam to come over, as she grabbed a knife to threaten her former partner to listen to her pleas.
As Mandy escaped to call the police, Liam listened as Ella was determined to prove that she had nothing to do with Chas’ overdose.
In the end, Ella was arrested after Liam wrestled with her in the woods, and Mandy refused to take back her statement due to the events that took place.
Taking to her Instagram, Lisa announced the “surprise” that she was the cast member that lucky fans met while on the Emmerdale tour.
She wrote: “SURPRISE……yes it was me today at the @emmerdaletour tour everyone I met THANK YOU….for your gorgeous cuddles, questions and comments. I’ve left the @emmerdale village smiling from ear to ear.”
The actress also posted a video earlier on, as she teased: “Well, I wonder where I am today… I’m hidden in the Emmerdale church, that’s because I’m on the Emmerdale tour… Today’s special guest was me! Lisa Riley. So nice. This is my first one, about to start right now.”
Fans were quick to show their love, as @evie_mae_10 wrote: “It was brilliant me and my family had a great day” and @kirsty_marie08 commented: “Was so lovely to meet you So glad it was you there! Such a wonderful & stunning lady xxx”.
As @89nic_d penned: “Thank u @lisajaneriley my daughter loves her signed polaroid” Lisa replied: “she is adorable!!! Lovely meeting you all today!! big hugs-hope you love the @emmerdale village?”
