Emmerdale viewers horrified by Mandy Dingle’s bizarre wedding dress plans

Emmerdale viewers were concerned for Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) in Wednesday's episode when she revealed her plans for a rather unconventional wedding dress.

Mandy revealed to Lydia Dingle that she planned to wear a leopard print wedding dress at her upcoming wedding to Paul Ashle.

The feisty character is known for her love of animal print, but some fans thought wearing it down the aisle might be a step too far.

One tweeted: "Did she say a leopard print wedding dress # Emmerdale ," alongside a grimacing face emoji.

"Only Mandy would want a leopard print wedding dress # Emmerdale ," giggled another, as a third wrote: "Of course Mandy wants a leopard print wedding dress.."

A fourth remarked: "Mandy will look like a cross between kat slater & bet lynch in the leopard skin wedding dress # emmerdale ".

But Lydia was more concerned about the impending nuptials, reminding Mandy that not long ago she had been telling Paul to leave due to his gambling addiction relapse.

Mandy listened to Lydia and then expressed concern to Paul, who reassured her he had definitely changed - despite having just placed a bet on without her knowledge.

Lying Paul managed to persuade Mandy to stop getting cold feet, before launching into a threatening attack on Lydia for almost putting the wedding in jeopardy.

Mandy still does not know the extent of the abuse her son Vinny has secretly been suffering at the hands of Paul, since uncovering his gambling was still going on .

Paul has beaten Vinny black and blue several times, but Vinny kept his secret, desperate for his mother to be happy.

But will he speak out in time before the wedding goes ahead, or will Lydia inform Mandy about Paul's vile threats?

* Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode on Thursdays at 8pm.
