DINGLE DECOR Emmerdale’s first look at Mandy and Paddy’s new lovenest as Lisa Riley gives fans a tour of home

LIFE is going to get very saucy for Emmerdale stalwarts, Mandy and Paddy Dingle, as they move into their brand-new ‘love nest’ – ‘Pandy Towers’.

The fan favourites are moving into Dr Liam’s old house and in true Mandy style, it’s been given a fresh new look with ‘love’ cushions, fruity sexual innuendos and even their very own ‘M & P’ bookcase lit up in lights.

The pair have revamped Dr Liam’s old cottage after he moved out 

And as the soap’s legendary actress, Lisa Riley, gives The Sun an exclusive tour today around the couple’s brightly coloured pad, she admits Mandy and Paddy love it so much, they can’t keep their hands off each other.

“They are like village magnets,” she exclaimed.

“At long last, Mandy and Paddy have got their very own love nest!

“This week the audience will get to see the love nest too and I know they are going to love it as much as Mandy and Paddy.

“They’ve called it Pandy Towers!

“Over the next few weeks, you will see them running off together back to the house.

“They can’t keep their hands off each other and they want to take pure advantage of their new love nest.

“But I think this is great a soap like Emmerdale can make plenty of references to this.

“Like many people between the ages of 45 and 55, Paddy and Mandy have a wonderful love life!”

As our exclusive pictures show, it’s clear Mandy is the main architect behind the décor that includes 27 strawberry items in a very cheeky nod to their fruity antics.

Smiling, Lisa explained: “You can tell Paddy has not had as much of a say in the property as he would have liked but he adores it and he trusts Mandy.

“He let her run with it and there are strawberries everywhere! In fact, Mandy and Paddy have 27 strawberry items in a nod to their fruity naughtiness!

“From strawberry mugs, mats and strawberry lamps to little tea lights, fair lights, strawberries are everywhere in Pandy Towers.

“Even little Eve has a strawberry stool and there are strawberry pillows too!”

Mandy’s favourite lamp is there for the rubbing 

Guiding Sun readers around the home that is decorated with a pleather of rainbow colours, Mandy’s beauty products are dotted everywhere.

It’s not neat and tidy, as you would expect with the extrovert salon owner in charge, and her garish taste is in abundance.

“But there is no leopard print,” stressed Lisa. “Mandy leaves that at the salon!”

Standing pride of place is a white shelving unit lit up in lights with the letters “M & P”. “This bookcase is phenomenal,” exclaimed Lisa before joking: “It’s wonderful to see but obviously there is the phenomenal bromance of Marlon and Paddy. So do the letters really mean Mandy an

“Now it’s colours everywhere. The comparison is literally like going to A to Z instantly!”

But Lisa, who as Mandy plays one of the biggest matriarchs of the Dingles, also stresses there are plenty of poignant nods to the famous soap family too.

Dotted around are lots of family photos and the Dingle’s family emblem of a crotched blanket is neatly placed over the sofa.

“You have got the original Dingle blanket and it’s all about the family” said Lisa.

Mandy will pop the bright kettle on in the blinding kitchen for her guests 

“There are pictures of Mandy and Paddy’s wedding day and one of her with Uncle Zak.

“The audience are going to see lots of shots of the Mandy and Zak picture which I think is wonderful. They were so close.”

Lisa says she has loved working with Emmerdale’s set design team on ‘Pandy Towers’ and she reveals a lot of effort has been put in to making sure many of the items have been upcycled.

In fact, as Lisa explains, fans can now buy Mandy’s old dresses on eBay.

“We have tried to upcycle a lot of the items,” added the star. “We are really big on that. We’ve got a pre-loved eBay site now where you can buy lots of items, including Mandy’s clothes . Not only can fans get a piece of nostalgia but it is all going to a new home. I love that.”

As for what lies ahead, she teases whilst fans can expect plenty of saucy fun, there will also be lots of drama with Mandy and Paddy too – especially with the couple’s relationship with Bear Wolf.

“Mandy and Paddy are real carers and they look out for people but there will be a lot of drama too,” she warned.

“It’s going to be particularly dramatic with Bear Wolf…”
