LIFE is going to get very saucy for Emmerdale stalwarts, Mandy and Paddy Dingle, as they move into their brand-new 'love nest' – 'Pandy Towers'.
The fan favourites are moving into Dr Liam's old house and in true Mandy style, it's been given a fresh new look with 'love' cushions, fruity sexual innuendos and even their very own 'M & P' bookcase lit up in lights.

And as the soap's legendary actress, Lisa Riley, gives The Sun an exclusive tour today around the couple's brightly coloured pad, she admits Mandy and Paddy love it so much, they can't keep their hands off each other.
'They are like village magnets,' she exclaimed.
'At long last, Mandy and Paddy have got their very own love nest!
'This week the audience will get to see the love nest too and I know they are going to love it as much as Mandy and Paddy.
'They've called it Pandy Towers!
'Over the next few weeks, you will see them running off together back to the house.
"They can't keep their hands off each other and they want to take pure advantage of their new love nest.
'But I think this is great a soap like Emmerdale can make plenty of references to this.
"Like many people between the ages of 45 and 55, Paddy and Mandy have a wonderful love life!'
As our exclusive pictures show, it's clear Mandy is the main architect behind the décor that includes 27 strawberry items in a very cheeky nod to their fruity antics.

Smiling, Lisa explained: 'You can tell Paddy has not had as much of a say in the property as he would have liked but he adores it and he trusts Mandy.
"He let her run with it and there are strawberries everywhere! In fact, Mandy and Paddy have 27 strawberry items in a nod to their fruity naughtiness!
"From strawberry mugs, mats and strawberry lamps to little tea lights, fair lights, strawberries are everywhere in Pandy Towers.
"Even little Eve has a strawberry stool and there are strawberry pillows too!'

Guiding Sun readers around the home that is decorated with a pleather of rainbow colours, Mandy's beauty products are dotted everywhere.
It's not neat and tidy, as you would expect with the extrovert salon owner in charge, and her garish taste is in abundance.
'But there is no leopard print,' stressed Lisa. 'Mandy leaves that at the salon!'
Standing pride of place is a white shelving unit lit up in lights with the letters 'M & P'. 'This bookcase is phenomenal,' exclaimed Lisa before joking: 'It's wonderful to see but obviously there is the phenomenal bromance of Marlon and Paddy. So do the letters really mean Mandy and Paddy?!'

She points to a pair of neon pink marigold gloves that don the letters 'Domestic Goddess'.
'What I love too is Mandy's marigolds,' she added.
'As you would expect with Mandy, they are not normal marigolds – she has a sewn-on ring with the lettering 'Domestic Goddess!'
'What's great is the lounge is so multi-coloured. Dr Liam's house was dark and dismal.
"Now it's colours everywhere. The comparison is literally like going to A to Z instantly!'
But Lisa, who as Mandy plays one of the biggest matriarchs of the Dingles, also stresses there are plenty of poignant nods to the famous soap family too.
Dotted around are lots of family photos and the Dingle's family emblem of a crotched blanket is neatly placed over the sofa.
'You have got the original Dingle blanket and it's all about the family' said Lisa.

'There are pictures of Mandy and Paddy's wedding day and one of her with Uncle Zak.
"The audience are going to see lots of shots of the Mandy and Zak picture which I think is wonderful. They were so close.'
Lisa says she has loved working with Emmerdale's set design team on 'Pandy Towers' and she reveals a lot of effort has been put in to making sure many of the items have been upcycled.
In fact, as Lisa explains, fans can now buy Mandy's old dresses on eBay.
'We have tried to upcycle a lot of the items,' added the star. 'We are really big on that. We've got a pre-loved eBay site now where you can buy lots of items, including Mandy's clothes . Not only can fans get a piece of nostalgia but it is all going to a new home. I love that.'
As for what lies ahead, she teases whilst fans can expect plenty of saucy fun, there will also be lots of drama with Mandy and Paddy too – especially with the couple's relationship with Bear Wolf.
'Mandy and Paddy are real carers and they look out for people but there will be a lot of drama too,' she warned.
'It's going to be particularly dramatic with Bear Wolf…'

Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he ‘wants no contact'

Brooklyn was understood to be unhappy at discovering his father's knighthood in the press cruz control Cruz Beckham post heartbreaking family snap after brother Brooklyn tells them he 'wants no contact' CRUZ Beckham has shared a throwback family snap amid the ongoing family feud between the Beckhams. The youngest son of David and Victoria appeared to be looking back at happier times in the family as he shared an old snap of the three brothers with their mum after she had just given birth to daughter, Harper Seven. 5 Cruz has shared a throwback snap of his family amid the ongoing feud Credit: Instagram 5 The family are locked in a feud Credit: Instagram/victoriabeckham The snap, believed to be taken in 2011, showed the three boys beaming down the lens of the camera as they snuggled up to their mum. Victoria tenderly held her daughter in the heartwarming picture. Cruz's decision to upload the image is very telling amid ongoing tension in the family after Brooklyn decided he no longer wanted contact with his famous family. Cruz did not add any captions nor did he tag his family members in the snap. Earlier today, it was revealed that Brooklyn is refusing to reply to messages amid the bitter feud, according to reports. The 26-year-old, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has no desire to speak to his parents or siblings after only learning about his dad's knighthood in the press, an insider has told Page Six. The sourced said: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' However, a source close to Brooklyn denied this and said, "this seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father." The Sun has contacted representatives for Brooklyn and the Beckhams for comment. England legend David will be knighted as part of King Charles' birthday honours. Peltz-Beckham's respond to reports of family feud It's a title he has coveted for some time and it means Victoria will be come Lady Beckham. David was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011 after helping to secure the London 2012 Olympics. But he was blocked from getting the title by the Honours Committee after becoming caught up in a tax avoidance scheme, along with many other stars. His finances were cleared by the taxman at least four years ago - paving the way for him to finally get the coveted honour. Just weeks ago we revealed how David and Victoria feel there might be no way to reconcile with their eldest child. Brooklyn, who was a no-show at David's star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last month, shared a video of himself and Nicola riding on his motorbike and wrote: 'My whole world. I will love you forever. I always choose you baby.' Those close to the Beckhams said the message seemed 'very pointed'. A source added: 'It shows how much this situation with his family has escalated. 5 Brooklyn has cut all contact with his family Credit: Getty 5 Brooklyn has been going through a difficult time Credit: Getty "It's very sad for everyone involved, especially David and Victoria who love him very much. This isn't the Brooklyn his family knows and loves. 'This post was like a dagger to their hearts but they will always be there for Brooklyn.' Tensions became public when Brooklyn did not publicly acknowledge fashion designer Victoria, 51, on Mother's Day. He then failed to show at any of David's 50th birthday parties. His mum and dad have continued to acknowledge him on social media, but pals of Brooklyn and Nicola suggested that was for show. The Sun revealed that the couple recently had dinner in California with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were 'very empathetic'.

Coronation Street fans rumble what really happened to Becky in sad Swain twist

Coronation Street fans are convinced they know what really happened to Becky - DS Lisa Swain's former partner - after Betsy learned some truths about Becky in tonight's episode Coronation Street fans have worked out what really happened to Becky. The character has never appeared on screen but she was a huge part of Lisa Swain's life before she arrived on the Cobbles. Lisa lost her partner Becky in the line of duty and has struggled with that since, unable to cope with the effect it had on their daughter Betsy and has feared her own danger whilst out on the beat after what happened to her late partner. ‌ Tonight, there was a shock twist as some truths came out about Becky, with more to come. Betsy found some files about Becky and whilst Swain tried to pass it off, Betsy continued her investigation with it looking like there was some corruption involved. ‌ We know Becky died in the line of duty after being run over by Mason's evil brothers during a robbery but now fans of the ITV soap have come up with a whole new theory about what happened to Becky. One fan wrote: "Becky Swain has either faked her own death or is in witness protection. Likely to next be seen alive at Carla & Lisa's wedding day when the guy asks if anyone has any objections." "So when Becky finally arrives, I need someone to make a joke about Lisa having a type. I'll even accept Becky saying it too," another added, with a third sharing: "Okay so Becky is either in whiteness protection or was a bent copper and idk what I'd love more #Corrie." There has been much talk about how well things are going for Carla and Lisa - affectionately named Swarla by fans - with Sydney Martin recently telling The Mirror that Betsy is rooting for them too. "I think secretly she would love it. Sydney would absolutely love it, but Betsy I think internally she would too. She knows the dynamic really works and she does truly see Carla as a stepmother and as family. But I think she would still be Betsy wouldn't she, and she would probably be embarrassed by them both," she told us. Vicky Myers - who plays Lisa - also shared her own hopes about the future for her character and Carla. She said: "I think a backstory would be great, but I think in time. There are so many other things that I think should be explored with the two of them and their extended family, and how they navigate life all together in their flat." Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine

The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.
