Tracy is surprised to hear of the surcharge which forces Mandy to admit she is in serious debt but can’t come clean to husband-to-be Paddy Kirk, insisting she is determined to resolve it herself without his help.

Later, during a chat with Gail Loman, Mandy is is intrigued when it’s suggested she could become a financial dominatrix. Later, Mandy sets up her online profile despite Tracy’s discouragement and ‘Madame Diamante Dales’ is born. Will Paddy find out about Mandy’s side hustle and what will he say?

Earlier this year, Paddy and Mandy got engaged following a tumultuous time for the couple. Prior to the proposal, Mandy was upset that Paddy, who had previously humiliated her at an event, kissed his former flame Chas Dingle. To hit back at him, she kissed doctor Liam Cavanagh to get back at her partner. However, despite the drama, they decided to get back together when Paddy surprised Mandy in his Prince Charming outfit. When they were home later, Paddy decided he didn’t want to lose Mandy and he proposed to her.

This isn’t the first time the duo have been married and they tied the knot back in 1999. However, back in the 90s, Mandy and Paddy’s marriage came to an end after she had an affair with her college lecturer, with Mandy soon leaving the village and not returning until 2019.
