Emmerdale fans reckon Mandy Dingle is hiding a major secret – and it’s bad news for her fiancé Paddy Kirk.

Soap legend Mandy (Lisa Riley) is a favourite on the ITV soap – making her debut way back in 1995. Since then, she’s played a part in several dramatic storylines.

Over in the famous dales recently, she got engaged to former flame Paddy (Dominic Brunt), after resolving things following Paddy’s kids with estranged wife Chas (Lucy Pargeter).

But during episodes from last week, fans noticed a huge change in Mandy. She was at first, on cloud nine when she got engaged, but recently she has appeared a little distracted.

After a bad day work at work, Paddy suggested they spend an afternoon doing wedding prep – but Mandy wasn’t keen. He even asked her out right if she still wanted to get married.

Looking sheepish, Mandy said yes, but pointed out she wants to enjoy the feeling of being engaged for a little while longer. However, fans of the soap reckon something more dramatic is on the cards for beloved couple Mandy and Paddy.

Online, fans have shared their fears that “something is going on” with Mandy as she is “not interested” in Paddy anymore. On X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: “what’s going on with Mandy? doesn’t she want to marry Paddy anymore? weird.”

A second also spoke out and claimed the character could be potentially set for a shock exit. They wrote: “Looks to me that Mandy is going through a mid-life crisis. Getting bored easily, wanting to do random exciting activities and not wanting to set a date to get married. Only a matter of time until she wants to leave the village.”

Meanwhile, over on a Facebook fan page, other fans claimed they have ‘worked out’ her secret, and what exactly is wrong with her. One fan commented: “Why does Mandy not seem interested anymore?”

A second replied: “I wonder if she’s married to someone?!” A third penned: “I was thinking the same.” Another replied: “This would be devastating for Paddy.”
