Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt has revealed the cheeky fib he told on-screen partner Lisa Riley to get her back to the ITV soap.
His character Paddy Kirk is all set to say ‘I do’ to Mandy Dingle, played by Lisa, in upcoming scenes set to air this week but it’s not smooth sailing as Paddy clocks Mandy’s secret job as a Findom, a financial dominatrix.
With their soap wedding hanging by a thread, Dominic confessed how close he is with Lisa off camera and that he spun her a white lie to coax her back to Emmerdale after she parked her role from 2001 to 2019.

Appearing on Loose Women on Wednesday (August 14), Dominic got a grilling about that porky pie. Denise Welsh from the panel asked him: “Of course, as well as Paddy and Mandy, you and the lovely Lisa are great friends in real life. Of course you are, and when she left for a time you tried to lure her back but you told her a little porky to her didn’t you to get her back?”.

Dominic owned up saying: “Yeah, I just told an outright lie. She said: ‘Is it still full on?’ I think we were filming two or three episodes at the point when she left and I was like ‘It’s calm and you can be busy and then can go quiet’ and then two years on, she was going ‘you lied to me’. I just wanted her back because I really missed her.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
In the village, Mandy has recently taken up findom work under the pseudonym ‘Madame Diamante Dales’, accepting money and gifts from men online.

She made this decision as she was struggling to clear her debts ahead of her wedding with Paddy, who is oblivious to both her findom work and the money she owes.
However, as their big day approaches, almost 25 years to the day they first tied the knot, Paddy is about to discover the truth about Madame Diamante, after his father Bear Wolf accidentally overheard one of Mandy’s online chats.
The question now is, will Paddy still go through with the wedding or will it be another failed nuptial for the pair?
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
