Lisa Riley says she found herself 'laughing' as she discovered Susanna Reid to be her Emmerdale character's lookalike. The actress, who is famed for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap, had headed into work when Good Morning Britain was being played in the greenroom.
Host Susanna was at the helm of the programme on Wednesday (September 21) alongside Martin Lewis after his 'Monday Monday' episode was moved for the last two weeks due to coverage of the Queen's death and the late monarch's state funeral earlier this week.
The 51-year-old presenter had completely changed her look after wearing black outfits during the period of national mourning which started at midnight on the day it was announced Queen Elizabeth II had died 'peacefully' at Balmoral, aged 96, on September 8.

On Tuesday, following a historic episode of GMB hosted outside Westminster Abbey, Susanna explained that the presenters were in 'transition' as they removed their black attire for a dark blue. But yesterday, Susanna brought the glam to the show.
She was seen donning a silky electric blue leopard print dress while her brunette locks had been styled into beachy waves. And it appears she may have taken a look in Mandy Dingle's wardrobe.
Lisa, who has spent more than two decades playing the eccentric member of the Dingle clan, took to Instagram with a side-by-side image of Susanna on-screen and a selfie of herself dressed ready for working on the ITV soap."
"LAUGHING," she wrote alongside a string of crying laughing emojis. "Today I came to work @itv @emmerdale noticed on tv…..it seems @susannareid100 has dressed the EXACT same way as Mandy Dingle….I’m wearing the same dress for filming today."
And fans were soon replying to Lisa's spot. @erinbreen28 said: "Love this Lisa! Couldn't have it any other way." @ataylor7575 commented: "Brilliant, both gorgeous." @mkim9531 echoed: "Both look gorgeous in it."
