Emmerdale 's Lisa Riley has told how she went back to filming the ITV show too soon after the grief of losing her fiancé Al's mother to cancer.
The soap star - who plays Mandy Dingle, a role she originated in 1995 - said that the tragedy brought back tough memories of her own mum Cathy's death in 2012.
Al's mum, known affectionately as "Nana" to Lisa, died aged 79. The Emmerdale star, 46, went back to work before the funeral and has admitted it was the wrong thing to do.
