Emmerdale's Mandy Dingle is hurt in Tuesday's episode (ITV, 7.30pm see our TV Guide for full listings).

Having got back together with Paddy, Mandy should be on cloud nine right now.

She's longed for this moment and now here they are, a couple again after all these years!

But as the pair swan into the Woolpack fresh from a mini getaway, it's clear there's already trouble in paradise.

The couple are left cringing when they tell Bear they're an item again only to realise that Paddy's ex-wife Chas is in earshot.
