Emmerdale legend bids emotional goodbye to colleague as they join Coronation Street


Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has taken to social media to say an emotional goodbye to her colleague, who is leaving the Dales for a new role over at the rival soap Coronation Street

The beloved actress is best known for her long-standing role as Mandy Dingle since 1995 (Image: ITV)Lisa gushed in her comment: "We love him so so so much-he will be adored at @coronationstreet they better look after him." This comes amid schedule shake-ups for both Coronation Street and Emmerdale this week, as ITV makes room for the UEFA Women's Euros, disrupting the beloved soaps. Typically, fans immerse themselves in Emmerdale's drama every weeknight from 7:30pm; however, with Spain v Portugal dominating ITV1 from 7:15pm for an 8pm kick-off this Thursday (July 3), the regular hour-long episode has been dropped.
