Lisa Riley appears to have leaked that Paula Lane is back filming in the Yorkshire Dales.

The Mandy Dingle star took to Instagram to share a snap with her pal Paula as they filmed on set.

She said: “DOUBLE TROUBLE at the @emmerdale village today.”

Paula – who previously played Kylie Platt in Coronation Street – made her Emmerdale debut earlier this year as Ella Forster.

Months after her arrival it was finally revealed she was hiding the fact she was using a false name after killing a childhood friend when she was just 11.

However, Ella vanished from screens and Emmerdale fans assumed she had departed for good.

Reacting to her seemingly imminent return, one fan said: “Lisa are you allowed to do this as we all think Paula has left the village, spoiler Alerts xx.”

A second wrote: “Glad to see your still in the show.”

“Glad to see you’re coming back to the village,” said a third.

While a fourth commented: “Oh is she coming back?”

Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
