Emmerdale has confirmed that Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) will wed again soon.
The iconic couple were first married in a fairytale inspired ceremony 25 years ago.
They got together shortly after Paddy’s arrival in the ITV soap in 1997, but their relationship faced several hurdles when his mum Barbara (Judi Jones) tried to split them up and faked a terminal illness to reconcile with her son.
After their first marriage, Mandy began to feel inferior to her husband, who was university educated, and began a college course in Hotten.
Engaging in a steamy fling with her lecturer, their marriage seemed to be over and they grew further apart when she had to spent extended periods of time caring for her dad in Southampton.
Upon her return, she found that he had grown closer to Emily Wylie (Kate McGregor) and the two separated for good.
In the last year we’ve seen them reunite and more recently, the two have become engaged.
After Paddy accidentally kissed ex-wife Chas (Lucy Pargeter) during a heart to heart, he realised he’d have some making up to do and donned an outfit similar to the one he wore at their first wedding.
At a recent press event, Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw confirmed that they would be going through with their second marriage.
‘Obviously their love story is brilliant, and it’s been nice to see a throwback to their original Cinderella and Prince Charming wedding.
‘There will be wedding bells for them in the not too distant future but I can’t really tell you anything more than that because its still being storylined.’
‘It’s sure to be a lot of fun though.’
