00:00 Emmerdale star Lisa Riley reveals whether she'd I'm a celebrity.

00:04 Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley has admitted that her current role as Mandy Dingle in the ITV

00:09 soap is her dream job and it's stopped her from taking other opportunities.

00:13 But she might be ready for a rethink.

00:15 "I love playing Mandy so much, that's why I keep turning down other good roles.

00:20 They offer me I'm a celebrity every year and every year I say no," the actress said.

00:25 So there are potentially just another couple of years to wait before we could see Lisa

00:29 getting her teeth into some bush tucker trials.

00:32 The soap legend also revealed she isn't at all worried about the prospect of the famously

00:37 terrifying challenges that could lie ahead.

00:39 "I think I could cope.

00:41 If you ask anyone at Emmerdale, I'm a coper," she insisted, adding, "I don't know if that's

00:46 good telly.

00:47 I think I'd be quite boring."

00:50 The thing that would worry Lisa the most about being in the jungle wouldn't be the bugs,

00:54 spiders or emptying the dreaded dunny.

00:56 "I actually wouldn't mind those," she said.

00:59 "I would just be so bored in there.

01:01 I have so much energy from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep.

01:06 Being sat in camp all day would send me crazy.

01:08 I would need to be stimulated all the time.

01:11 I'd be my usual confident self.

01:13 I'd be doing dance routines around the fire.

01:16 I think you put me in a tank of cockroaches, I could probably do that okay."

01:21 Lisa confirmed that she definitely won't be in the next series of I'm a Celebrity.

01:25 It has been confirmed the show will begin on November 19, and there's always speculation

01:30 is mounting about who might be heading for Australia.

01:33 It's a busy time for the actress currently on Emmerdale as she's at the center of some

01:37 big storylines.

01:39 In a special week of episodes, we saw most of the Dingles assembled in the woolpack by

01:44 Lydia as she interrogated them all about where they were when Craig Reed was killed.

01:49 The man who raped Lydia Dingle was found in one of the home farm fields, and through flashbacks

01:53 throughout the week, viewers gradually learned that, while Sam beat Craig up, the killer

01:58 blow actually came from Kim Tate's horse in a freak incident.

02:02 Mandy, meanwhile, is keeping a huge secret after Eric Pollard broke down in tears and

02:07 told her he has Parkinson's.

02:10 In emotional scenes, Mandy tries to comfort him and urges him to tell David Metcalf and

02:15 Brenda Walker, but Eric has sworn her to secrecy.
