Emmerdale’s Mandy Dingle faces heartbreak as her wedding day approaches, fearing it might be canceled due to her new online side hustle. Struggling with debt, Mandy transforms into a financial dominatrix, Madame Diamante, accepting cash and gifts from men online in exchange for a thrill.
Next week, Mandy is touched when Amelia Spencer gifts her a karaoke headset and organizes a surprise hen party. Despite her excitement, Mandy has to balance an appointment with Paddy’s dad, Bear Wolf, at the salon and an online client. Mandy asks Amelia to handle Bear’s beard trim while she takes the call with her dominatrix client. However, Bear overhears Mandy’s call through the karaoke speakers and feels betrayed by her internet antics.
Bear researches what being a financial dominatrix involves and contemplates telling Paddy the truth. Later, Bear confronts Mandy about her activities. Mandy explains her reasons but frustrates Bear by refusing to tell Paddy. Bear’s annoyance grows as he hears Paddy praising Mandy ahead of the wedding. Eventually, Bear cracks and reveals Mandy’s secret to Paddy, Chas, and Marlon.
On the morning of the wedding, Paddy confides in Bear and Marlon that he doesn’t want to marry Mandy. Unaware of this, Mandy gets ready at the salon but soon learns from Bear that Paddy knows everything. Devastated, Mandy rushes off in her wedding dress to apologize to Paddy, desperate to save her big day. Can she salvage her wedding and mend things with Paddy?
