Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley revealed a new skill as she spilled the tea on her showbiz career during a special visit to Bolton. Lisa, who plays soap icon Mandy Dingle, returned to the town she fell in love with while growing up in neighbouring Bury to host an afternoon tea at Bolton Food and Drink Festival 2022.
And, as she swapped the Yorkshire Dales on the ITV soap to meet fans in Bolton town centre, she demonstrated that she has been learning British Sign Language by communicating with members of the deaf community at the event. Lisa, 46, has had three lessons so far and she impressed fans as she built on her knowledge with a fellow guest and BSL user Scott Ford who travelled over from Hartlepool.
Beautielady commented on Lisa's Instagram: "To see you was absolutely lovely this afternoon and trying your best effort to learn BSL sign language. You learn so quick and I'm sure you will improved your sign skills. You have a lovely personality!"
