Will they be weddy ...or not?

There has been no hotter ticket for me all year - a cordial invitation to Emmerdale to go behind the scenes at a Dingle wedding.

For the past couple of weeks, viewers have seen Gabby Thomas and Vinny Dingle preparing for their nuptials, to be screened on Monday.

But confused about his sexuality, the groom-to-be, played by Bradley Johnson, has been wondering if he can actually go through with it and is running behind schedule as a result.

Fans will find out next week that his intended (Rosie Bentham) is hiding a huge secret too. But sadly, that is as much as I can reveal right now.

The purpose-built Emmerdale village, just eight miles from Leeds, is buzzing with action.

As I approach the famous Woolpack pub, I spot the three “mothers” of the bride - stepmum Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), Kim Tate (Claire King), and Gabby’s biological mum Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles), who is making a shock return to the soap.

Poor Laurel is on crutches after tripping over in tonight's episode.

But I then notice Rosie, who plays Gabby, wearing a dressing gown over her wedding dress.

She shows me around the hair and makeup room, next-door to Mandy Dingle’s beauty salon, PampaManda.

Among all the eyeshadows and lipsticks, I spy rows of root cover sprays in every colour imaginable. I guess the fast pace of filming leaves little time for visits to a colourist.
