What are Mandy and Vinny hiding in Emmerdale? The pair are keeping a secret from the rest of the Dingle clan

EMMERDALE favourite Mandy Dingle is making her return to the village later this week alongside her son, Vinny.

And the TV soap legend is back with a bang – as she walks in on her cousin Marlon’s wife, Jessie, having a steamy snogging session with her ex-husband, Al.

Emmerdale's feisty Dingle obviously wastes no time sharing her views on what she’s witnessed, but it’s not yet known if she’ll be the bearer of bad news to Marlon.

With Sandra Marvin, who plays the shamed former headteacher, set to depart from the ITV soap, it looks like Mandy could indeed spill the beans.

But she also has something else on her mind and it soon becomes clear that she and Vinny are hiding something big from the rest of the Dingle clan.

In January 2019, fans saw Vinny asking his mum why she hadn’t told them the real reason behind their brief visit to the village - with Mandy replying that it wasn’t the right time yet.

So is now the right time?

Actress Lisa Riley - who is returning to the Dales fulltime after 18 years of being away – recently teased a hint to This Morning hosts Ruth and Eamonn, telling them to keep an eye on Mandy’s bag.

When Ruth asked her about the designer bag Mandy had been seen with, Lisa replied: “Obviously they look like they're Chanel, but they're Channel, they're Channel. Yeah, they're fakes."

Spoilers for next week have revealed that Mandy and her cousin Aaron will clash when he pretends to burn a stash of her hidden cash.

After Mandy is seen desperately searching for a bag, Chas becomes suspicious and catches her with the money and some casino chips - leaving the Dingle clan furious.

But Aaron says he can help Mandy to get them changed, leaving her delighted as she goes to meet her cousin at the scrap yard.

However, her mood takes a turn when Aaron tells her he’s taking a cut and – when Mandy loses it with him – he chucks the bag into a burning bin.

But everything is not as it seems. Then again, when ever is it in Emmerdale?
