Fellow Emmerdale cast members and devoted viewers quickly flooded the comments section with well-wishes. Co-star Daisy Campbell (who plays Amelia Spencer) wrote: "So happy for you both!" while many fans described the news as "absolutely wonderful".
Balancing Motherhood and the Dales
While Isabel hasn't revealed how her pregnancy might affect her Emmerdale filming schedule, viewers are eagerly anticipating how Victoria Sugden's storyline might develop. The character has faced numerous dramatic plots over the years, including a harrowing rape storyline in 2019 that earned Isabel critical acclaim for her powerful performance.
This exciting personal milestone comes as Isabel celebrates over 15 years in the Yorkshire-based soap, having joined the show as a teenager back in 2006. The actress has grown up on screen, with fans now delighted to see her embark on this new chapter off-screen.
