LISA'S LIFE OF RILEY..

Soap star signs new Dale deal

- TOM BRYANT

EMMERDALE actress Lisa Riley has committed herself long-term to staying on the ITV soap.

Although, while Lisa's future is secure, her character's is more uncertain.

Mandy Dingle's second marriage to Paddy Kirk is in peril when he realises she has lied to him about a secret job.

Lisa, 48, who returned to Emmerdale five years ago, said: "I've just signed a new long contract and I'm very happy.

"Paddy and Mandy bring such joy to the show - you can rely on the fact that they're going to bring you that sprinkle of fun and I love that.
