Emmerdale 's Lisa Riley has spoken about her dramatic weight loss, and compares it to Adele' s staggering transformation.  The 44-year-old soap star, who is known for playing the beloved Mandy Dingle on the ITV programme, has sympathised with Adele as her weight loss has seemingly been focused on more than her music.  Lisa has recently celebrated 30 years in showbusiness, and has insisted she doesn't want her weight loss to overshadow her career achievements.  The Mandy Dingle icon, who is preparing to marry her fiancé Al, explained that she believes Adele's major body transformation is talked about more than her staggering career.
