Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley has opened up about the grief she endured after the death of her partner's mum and how she returned to the soap too soon.
Lisa Riley, 46, who has played Mandy Dingle since 1995, told our colleagues at The Mirror about the heartache her family has suffered recently. Partner Al's mum, known affectionately as ‘Nana’ to Lisa, died aged 79.
Lisa went back to work before the funeral and admitted it was the wrong thing to do. She commented: "It has been a treacherous time and it's still very raw in the family. In hindsight, when Nana passed I shouldn't have gone back to work so quickly.
