Lisa Riley of Emmerdale has been engaged to American singer Al for several years; nevertheless, her co-star in the soap opera has expressed a desire for the actress to be married in real life, given their approaching on-screen union.
After her character got engaged on television, Lisa Riley, an Emmerdale actor, revealed that a fellow cast member had been pushing her to get married in real life.
The 48-year-old actress, who plays Mandy Dingle in the venerable ITV soap opera, has been engaged to her American musician partner, Al, since 2018. She refers to their union as “love’s young dream”.
Despite this, as Lisa approaches her 50th birthday, Dominic Brunt is pushing for a real-life wedding, even though Lisa has rejected his advances. This is because of her character’s much awaited marriage to Paddy Kirk.
Lisa disclosed in an interview with Woman magazine: “Dominic Brunt, the vet Paddy Kirk, has been bugging me to simply do it ever before Mandy and Paddy got engaged. The strain! He expressed his desire to provide my wedding speech. He’s quite funny.”
“Well, my 50th is coming up; why don’t we just have a big party?” I told him, she went on. And he said, “Yes!” ‘Do your 50th and tie the knot’. However, he is aware of our happiness because he and his spouse are the closest friends of Al and myself.”
She believes that Lisa and Al “embrace silly,” and that her fiancé loves her “daftness.” She hopes that this energy will keep their connection “alive” for a very long time.
Although the Emmerdale characters had been dating intermittently for a long time, Lisa acknowledged that they were always meant to be.
According to rumors in 2023, Lisa has had some bad luck in her romantic life, having fallen in love with both a con artist and her lesbian roommate. This is similar to what happened to her on-screen persona.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, who previously declared that she was “always the hunter” in relationships, appears to have at last found her counterpart in Al.
She disclosed in an interview with the Mirror that “love can land on your doorstep” at any time, particularly if you’re “not looking”. She was grieving the loss of her mother, among other things, and wasn’t looking for a new relationship at the moment.
At the age of 37, Lisa, who succeeded Jeremy Beadle as host of You’ve Been Framed!, said that she was “hugely guarded” when she first met Al through friends. Now, the pair resides in Yorkshire with happiness.
