Emmerdale star Lisa Riley has given fans a glimpse into her real-life relationship with fiancé Al after sharing some romantic photos of the pair enjoying a European holiday together.

Lisa and Al have been a couple for seven years and got engaged in 2018, but have kept their relationship fairly private over the years.

However, the Mandy Dingle actress has treated her Instagram and Twitter followers to a few holiday snaps of herself and Al as they spend time in Italy and Slovenia.

Lisa used a photo of the couple smiling by a Venice canal to send her congratulations to the winners of the 2021 National Television Awards, which took place last week, saying that she and Al were sending "all our love from beautiful Venice".

She later shared another Venice boat photo, writing: "One more #venice I photo to share with you….feel the love whilst in VENICE…it's just incredibly beautiful….me and Al on our boat trip, with such beauty surrounding us."

After the couple moved on to Slovenia, Lisa shared a picture of her and Al hugging in front of a spectacular harbour view and revealed that the couple had just captured "a moment that speaks volumes".

"walking for miles, still discovering more, you know my personal mantra 'each day learn three new things, THATS being rich'," she added.

Lisa's Emmerdale co-stars commented on the star's Instagram photo to share their love for the couple, with Priya Kotecha actress Fiona Wade writing: "Beautiful two hope you're having an amazing time!!" and Vanessa Woodfield star Michelle Hardwick commenting: "Love this. Enjoy you gorgeous pair."

Last year Lisa spoke about her and Al's wedding plans, saying that the couple would like to have "an incredibly simple" wedding attended by just their "nearest and dearest".

"In the six years we've been together, we've never spent as much time together as we have this year and we still love each other," she said of the couple's lockdown experience. "We've been getting on brilliantly, I feel blessed."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
