Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has teased an explosive clash between Mandy Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd. Mackenzie was recently unmasked as a loverat who cheated on wife Charity Dingle.
Charity discovered he had fathered Chloe Harris’ baby too and is now a dad. She was devastated but more so when she discovered members of her own family knew and hid it from her.
Now actress Lisa has opened up about her character Mandy’s upcoming clash with Mackenzie. She has teased how the Dingles at large will back Charity and take on Mackenzie.
“Mandy’s a Dingle, so obviously she’s going to take Charity’s side,” she told Inside Soap. “Also, in terms of Mandy’s relationship with Mack, he did her over with the money, and he set up Vinny with the gambling – so it’s a case of third strike and you’re out.
