Emmerdale‘s Mandy Dingle fears her wedding will be cancelled next week as her

new online side hustle causes major problems.

The fan favourite is about to transform herself into a ‘financial dominatrix’, accepting

cash and gifts from men online in return for giving them a thrill as her alter ego Madame Diamante Dales.

Mandy’s idea comes as she struggles to pay off her debts ahead of tying the knot with her fiancé Paddy.

Next week, Mandy is touched when Amelia Spencer hands over a karaoke headset as a gift and organises a surprise hen party for her.

Although Mandy gets excited about the celebrations ahead, she has to juggle an appointment with Paddy’s dad Bear Wolf at the salon – as well as another online client.

In the end, Mandy asks Amelia to take care of Bear’s beard trim appointment while she takes the call with the dominatrix client.

Left alone in the salon for a moment, Bear is horrified when he overhears Mandy’s online call coming through the karaoke speakers.

Bear regards Mandy’s internet antics as a clear betrayal of Paddy’s trust. After doing some research into what being a ‘financial dominatrix’ involves, Bear wonders whether to tell Paddy the truth.

Later, Bear takes the opportunity to confront Mandy about what she’s up to. Mandy explains her reasons, but frustrates Bear by refusing to tell Paddy.

Bear’s annoyance grows when he hears Paddy warmly singing Mandy’s praises ahead of the wedding. He finally cracks and exposes Mandy’s secret to Paddy, Chas and Marlon.

When the wedding day arrives the next morning, Paddy tells Bear and Marlon that he doesn’t want to marry Mandy.

Mandy is oblivious to this as she gets ready at the salon, but Bear soon pops in to warn her that Paddy knows everything.

Mandy is devastated and rushes off in her wedding dress to apologise to Paddy. Can she save her big day?
