She added that it has been an "absolute joy" to play the character and took some time to thank the "incredible talent" of the crew, writers and producers.
The actress said that the character's "famous one-liners" make her laugh personally and told fans that she is "so grateful, so humbled and happy, but mostly giddy to bring more 'Mandy Madness' for many more years to come."
She concluded her post by saying: "Always learning, thank you to all the Emmerdale fans, your support is incredible.
"P.S. Dom, thank you beyond thank you, for embracing my bonkers... DAILY! Love ya to pieces."

‘Get her out' rant Love Island fans as they call for ‘sly' star to be kicked off the show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island viewers have slammed an islander as sly and demanded she's kicked off the show after the girls appeared to settle an ongoing divide that has plagued their time in the villa. Throughout the series, the villa girls have been divided with two clear friendship groups emerging over the course of the ITV2 programme. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island viewers have slammed an islander as sly and demanded she is kicked off the show after the girls appeared to settle the ongoing divide that has plagued their time in the villa Credit: ITV Love Island 4 Fans thought Angel should be kicked out after egging Meg on in the dressing room 4 The Love Island girls had just declared a truce minutes earlier On one side have been Shakira, Toni and Yasmin who have been fiercely loyal to one another and stood by each other in times of need. Whilst Meg and Helena, as well as Megan, have made up the other half of the main villa divide. The two groups have failed to see eye-to-eye until they appeared to put their difference aside in an unexpected moment on the programme. Just days after a huge row about the divide ensued during the show's explosive Grafties, the ladies decided to hug it out and put an apparent end to the bubbling feud between them. But with less than a week to go until someone is crowned Love Island champion, fans have insisted that Angel is sly after she egged Meg on after Toni's reconciliation move. In the dressing room, Angel said to Meg: "I wondered what you and Toni were going to talk about." "I knew it was that," replied Meg. "Your face!" laughed Angel as they both rolled their eyes. "I wasn't going to pull them because I didn't say nasty comments about them," added Meg. Which prompted Megan to shout over: "Meg enough of that." Love Island girls put an end to villa divide and have huge group hug Writing on social media after the scenes were aired one fan wrote: "And I was literally getting called out when I said angel is nasty and doesn't serve ty so I'd rather her end up with Blu. "Not even 2 mins after Toni's reconciliation attempt and they're both bitching behind their backs and rolling their eyes." Another added: "Get angel out along with meg and Dejon." While a third said: "Meg did you know if you roll your eyes far back enough you may be able to see the tiny remnants of your so called brain." "DID MEG JUST ROLL HER EYES AT SHAKIRA WHAT A BITCH," shouted another fan of the show. As another added: "It took Meg 0.6 seconds to go into the makeup room w Angel n start talking shit after Toni called a meeting to say GROUP HUG. "And you people think Toni & Shakira are the problem? Seek help. Immediately." Meanwhile, in tonight's episode, Dejon's embarrassed mum tells him off about his threesome confession. On Love Island, viewers will see the loved ones of the contestants enter the villa as the infamous 'Meet The Parents' segment returns. Dejon Noel-Williams will be left most shocked of all as both his mum Demelza and sister Gene show up in Majorca. This is alongside Meg Moore's mum Nathalie and her sister Paige who arrive on the ITV2 set together. In unison, Meg's family excitedly yell out on the sprawling summer set: 'Where's 'our Meg'?' However, when the trio sit down, Meg's sister demanded answers as she told her sibling: "You let him get away with a lot though."

Love Islander branded ‘fake and mean' as she rolls her eyes at rival – did you spot it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans reckon they've rumbled the villa's latest villain – after one savage moment gave the game away. The fiery islander was caught rolling her eyes at the recoupling - and viewers didn't miss it. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Harry coupled up with Shakira Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Meg rolled her eyes at Harry's recoupling speech Credit: ITV Now, she's being slammed as 'fake and mean' - but did you clock it? Meg sparked outrage when she rolled her eyes the moment Harry chose to couple up with Shakira. In his speech, Harry said: "I'd like to couple up with this girl because she possesses qualities I see in a long-term partner. "I think I've sat on a lot of feelings and buried a lot of my emotions recently, and two conversations have brought it all back to the surface. "I think I've disappointed myself. I've disappointed people in here. I know I'm not perfect. I never pretend to be. But I wanna be a better person for myself... and for this girl. "I know she doesn't believe a word I say right now. But I want her to know that the feelings were always there. I just chose to ignore them. "As I said to this girl yesterday. I'm either leaving here alone or leaving here with her. So the girl I want to couple up with is... Shakira." While the rest of the Islanders applauded the match, Meg's frosty expression told a very different story - and fans were quick to call her out. Taking to X, one viewer fumed: DID MEG ROLL HER EYES AT SHAKIRA??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GIRLS GIRL HUN??" Another added: "THAT FUCKING NASTY ASS EYE ROLL OH MEG U ARE SO OUT AS SOON AS I HAVE MY HANDS ON A PUBLIC VOTE." Love Island girls put an end to villa divide and have huge group hug A third penned: "MEG THE EYE ROLL. WE SAW THAT. CATCH A GRIP. BEING SO FAKE AFTER SAYING YOU'LL BE FRIENDS. BITCHING AGAIN AFTER BEING BEHIND EVERYONE'S BACKS. BECAUSE THEY SAID MUMMY MEG. SHUT UP." This comes just moments after the girls called a truce, following a heart-to-heart between Toni and Meg about the growing tension in the villa. Toni pulled Meg for a chat, telling her it's not them stirring the drama, and the root of the problem is the boys. With just days left in the villa, the girls agreed to be friends and enjoy the time they have left - sealing it with a big group hug. Love Island 2025 couples: last week This is it - the last week of Love Island 2025 is here and the race to the finish for our remaining couples is on as the clock ticks down and a massive 50,000-pound prize awaits. The couples are... Toni and Cach Yasmin and Jamie Meg and Dejon Angel and Ty Megan and Conor Shakira and Harry Helena and Blu But how long will it last? Some viewers have slammed the show and branded it a "fix" after the girls appeared to settle the ongoing divide. One viewer said: "It's the producers fault, they have protected Helena/Meg, producers have been watching online comments & need to fix it." A second added: "It's so fake they are not even touching Shakira in the hug." Someone else then posted: "Producers want Meg to win so much they made her promise to be more friendly?" Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2. 4 The Love Island girls appeared to call a truce amid the villa divide - but how long will it last? Credit: Eroteme
