Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has been flooded with the same request as she shared snaps of herself alongside her work 'bezzie'. Fnas best known the actress for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap.
She has spent the best part of 27 years as part of the famous Dingle clan, joining the soap in 1995 before taking a 17 year break in 2001 and making a much welcome return in 2018. And there is one person who has been, and remains, a big part of Mandy's life.
And that's Mr Paddy Kirk. Back in their early days in the Dales, Mandy and Paddy had an affair while she was married to her cousin, Butch. After being disowned by her family and eventually divorcing Butch and marrying Paddy, Mandy had another affair.

Nowadays, Mandy is still looking for love, while interfering with her son, Vinny's life, while Paddy, played by Dominic Brunt, is now married to Chas Dingle, who unbeknown to him is having a shock affair with former enemy Al Chapman.
Fans don't often get to see Mandy and Paddy on-screen together, so Lisa herself has tried to fix that by sharing some behind-the-scenes snaps of her and Dominic on social media. The images showed the pair pulling faces for the cameras with Bury-born Lisa writing: "THOSE BRILLIANT DAYS……"
She then went on: "When work doesn’t seem like work with my BEZZIE @dominicbrunt." Lisa, 46, added: "@emmerdale after all these years-still make each other laugh."
Lisa's on-screen son Bradley Johnson was among the first to respond, writing: "Love this!!! Simply the best." Michelle Hardwick, who stars as Vanessa Woodfield in the ITV soap, commented: " The best duo." Irish actress Victoria Smurfit also said: "Gorgeous pair of eejits," alongside a crying laughing emoji.
And while fans were also loving the snaps, the comments section of Lisa's post was flooded with a request for Emmerdale bosses. @parrswoodmikey1969 said: "Need you both together as a couple....which hopefully comes soon when Paddy finds out about Chas & Al. Pleeeeeeeeaaaase."
@jackiefootitt echoed: "When Chas finally gets caught with AL . How about Mandy and paddy get back together." @cookinju added: "Mandy and Paddy back together after he finds out what that Chas has been up to."
Over the weekend Lisa put on a fabulous display as she attended Leeds Pride with her co-stars. She took to Instagram to show off her bright and bold rainbow outfit for the occasion as well as giving a close up of her dark locks which had been styled into braids with added rainbow accessories.
"LEEDS PRIDE TODAY," she captioned the photos. "With all my gorgeous Emmerdale team!!!! Cannot wait!!! Here’s just a sneaky peak as to what the FULL outfit will be like!!! “GO GLITTER OR GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!"
She later returned to the social media site to share snaps alongside her fellow Emmerdale cast members and crew - including Bradley, Michelle, Natalie J Robb (Moira) Lawrence Robb (Mackenzie) and Isobel Steele (Liv). THANK YOU THANKYOU LEEDS PRIDE it was AMAZING!!!"Lisa said: "The @itv @emmerdale bus was such a giggle!! We had a ball!!
