Lisa Riley reveals that she finally feels comfortable in her skin, but her new lifestyle comes with its challenges
Astonishingly, it has been 17 years since she left her popular Emmerdale character, mandy Dingle, behind, but it’s safe to say Lisa Riley has been on one hell of a journey since then.
She’s become a Loose woman, hit the dance floor on Strictly, released a number of hugely popular books and has even managed to meet the man of her dreams in fiancé AL.
But, along with all these exciting experiences, one thing that has dramatically changed her life is undeniably her incredible 12st weight loss, which has seen Lisa, 42, drop from a size 28 to a size 12-14.
Here, the actress opens up about her highly anticipated return to the Dales, wedding plans and why she’s determined to maintain her weight loss.
