An Emmerdale legend has shared concern for Lisa Riley over an I’m A Celebrity detail.

The 49-year-old actress, who is best known for her role as Mandy Dingle on the hit ITV soap, is currently facing her fears in the Australian jungle.

Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt, who plays Lisa’s on-screen husband Paddy Dingle, appeared on ITV’s Loose Women on Tuesday (December 2), where he spoke to Christine Lampard, Myleene Klass, Nadia Sawalha and Brenda Edwards about Lisa’s jungle journey.

He also shared his initial concerns for his friend, saying: “It was strangely tense watching it. In the first week, you saw people coming in and they were dancing at everything, and saying, ‘God, we’re like a big family,’ and you think, ‘This is four days’.

“I thought she was really quiet, and it’s not the Lisa we know. I think she’s comfortable with people she knows, so it was good watching her after four, five, six, seven days just coming out of her shell. And then you could relax a little bit.”
