Emmerdale single, Mandy Dingle, is on the apps in Wednesday (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Mandy Dingle has got it bad for Paddy. But despite their passion for each other, which has survived the decades, it's just not the right time.

Knowing that Paddy needs to get stronger and get over his broken marriage to Chas, she's determined to dampen down her feelings for the village vet and get into online dating instead!
