“She now really can't forgive him. She can't and we play it out and we have these amazing scenes.
“It’s just heartbreaking.
"It is Mandy and Vinny at their best when they play the ultimate comedy and then they'll tear you apart because she can't believe it."
“You know, as a Dingle, she's been lied to, she's been cheated, she's been a doormat to everyone.
“The one person she never ever for one second believed would deceive her would be Vinny and he's done the worst.
"He's done the worst and it's truly, truly heartbreaking.”
