Emmerdale's Mandy Dingle actress delights as she shares rare snap of fiancé

Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has shared a very rare photo of her other half as the lovebirds live it up on holiday in New York City.

The Mandy Dingle actress, 46, has delighted her fans by sharing a glimpse into her love life with partner Al, who she has been in a relationship with since 2014.

The soap star took to Instagram to share a cute couples photo of herself and Al taking in the sights and sounds of the Big Apple as they posed for a quick selfie during a wander around the famous streets.

Smiling from ear-to-ear alongside her beau, Lisa looked on top of the world on her American getaway.

"Ok I promise only ONE cheesy…….HOLIDAY SNAP!!!!" she penned alongside the snap.

"The smiles say it all!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Sunday at its ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTE best!!! #love #holiday #smile #together #cheesy."

Lisa recently told The Mirror that in the past, she was the hunter in relationships, but has since found her perfect match and foil in the calming influence of her fiance Al.

"In my previous relationships, I was always the hunter, out looking for a man,” Lisa, 46, explained.

But she met musician Al nine years ago when she was not looking for love.

“I know it sounds like a cliché, but it’s true that when you’re not looking, love can land on your doorstep. I’m proof of that,” she says.

“I’d finishedStrictly Come Dancing, I was loving life and enjoying seeing my friends. There was a lot going on – I’d just lost my Mum – and another relationship wasn’t on my radar.

“I was hugely guarded when we first met, but how wrong I was! The great thing was, he didn’t know who I was, so he didn’t give a crap if I was a lollypop lady or working on the bins.”

Lisa and Al, who live in Yorkshire, met through friends when she was 37 and at the time she had begun to doubt if she would ever find Mr Right.

A popular star on our screens since she was 19, Lisa left Emmerdale in 2001 to take over You’ve Been Framed! from Jeremy Beadle, at the time one of the most popular series on TV, with audiences of up to 19million.

The home movies show brought her even more fame, but the ­downside was that her trusting and joyful nature left her unable to find genuine men who liked her purely for herself.

Luckily, Al came into her life, and she has been head over heels ever since.
