Emmerdale favourite Mandy Dingle is set to make a drastic decision next week as she continues to struggle with money woes, which she has been keeping a secret from those around her

Recently, it was unveiled that Mandy is grappling with financial difficulties and has been concealing the truth from those around her. Fans will remember that Mandy currently runs PampaManda, a beauty salon in the village where Amelia Spencer works.

However, recent episodes have shown Mandy struggling as she confided in Rhona Goskirk, a new close friend, about her monetary issues and her habit of avoiding paying for things in the village.

In upcoming spoilers, Mandy’s looming honeymoon exacerbates her financial concerns. In a desperate move, she covertly attempts to add a £20 surcharge to Tracy Metcalfe’s nail appointment.

Tracy is taken aback by the surcharge, forcing Mandy to confess that she is heavily in debt but can’t reveal the truth to her fiance Paddy Kirk, insisting she wants to sort it out herself without his assistance, reports the Mirror.

Later, during a conversation with Gail Loman, Mandy becomes interested when it’s suggested she could become a financial dominatrix. Despite Tracy’s discouragement, Mandy sets up her online profile and ‘Madame Diamante Dales’ is created. Will Paddy discover Mandy’s secret venture and what will his reaction be?

Earlier this year, Paddy and Mandy decided to take the plunge and get engaged after a rocky period in their relationship. Before Paddy popped the question, Mandy was left heartbroken when he embarrassed her at a social event and locked lips with his ex, Chas Dingle.

In retaliation, she shared a passionate kiss with Dr Liam Cavanagh. Despite the tumultuous events, they chose to reconcile when Paddy surprised Mandy by dressing up as Prince Charming

This isn’t the couple’s first rodeo, as they previously said ‘I do’ back in 1999. However, their marriage in the 90s came crashing down when Mandy had an affair with her college lecturer.
