The actress, who portrays Mandy Dingle, has been away for a few weeks in the Australian jungle, featuring in this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity. Lisa lived in the camp

with stars including Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp. She came eighth in the competition, and eventually watched social media influencer Angry Ginge get crowned winner.

After the life-changing experience, Lisa flew back to England and got some well-earned rest. She didn’t stop for too long though as today, the star confirmed she had returned to Leeds,

ready to get transformed back into Mandy Dingle. Lisa shared a video on her Instagram as she wandered down a rainy path to the studios. The dark morning very much confirmed that Lisa was back on home soil. Looking forward to her day ahead, the actress said she was ‘back to Emmerdale’ and ‘back to where [she] belongs’.

‘Thank you jungle, you’re amazing, but do you know what happens now? I’ve got to put Mandy Dingle’s tabard back on! It’s been a while!’.

‘Mandy Dingle is back’, a fan excitedly wrote in the comments section.

Another follower of Lisa’s said: ‘Have a great first day back at work’.

Shona McGarty, a fellow campmate, also shared the love with some heart emojis.

Mandy Dingle is currently involved in a storyline with husband Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt).

Mandy and Paddy recently discovered Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards), Paddy’s dad, never made it to Ireland in the summer.

As concern started to grow, Mandy headed to the company that Bear hired a car from, hoping to get some answers about where he went.

She returned with the news that Bear’s vehicle was returned, but the woman at the reception desk never saw him give the keys back.

With no actual evidence that something bad has happened to Bear, Paddy is under the impression that his dad has simply left to start a new life elsewhere.

In reality, we know that Bear was lured into a dangerous world by Ray Walters (Joe Absolom), who found him living out of his car.

Bear is still working on Celia Daniels’ (Jaye Griffiths) farm as a slave, but does not know that he is very close to the village.

A few weeks ago, Bear’s young granddaughter Eve spotted him working on a field. She called his name, but he failed to hear or spot her.

By the time Eve ran to Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano) and then returned with him, Bear and the other slaves had disappeared.

When Matty brought Eve home, the youngster told Paddy and Mandy that she saw Bear, but they sadly didn’t believe her.
