Co-star ex
Romance bloomed between Isabel and her former Emmerdale co-star Michael Parr, who played Ross Barton in the Dales.
They dated for four years before eventually making the decision to split in 2019.
Things first went public between the loved-up pair in 2015, when they shared a sweet snap of themselves on a holiday abroad, with Michael flashing a cheeky triangle of chest in a navy blue Hawaiian shirt.
However, with Michael’s move to the US to pursue an acting career away from Soapland, the pair reportedly ‘drifted apart’.
Lookalike siblings
Isabel left her 126,000 Instagram fans speechless when she debuted snaps of her doppelgänger brother and sister to her social media account.
Isabel shared one snap of her brother Adam on his 30th birthday, writing alongside the sweet snap of Adam with his two children: "Happy 30th birthday to my big brother Adam!
"Who did big brother things like attempted to teach me how to play the drums, introduced me to Guitar Hero, educated me about bands like Slipknot, Metallica and Orange Goblin - not that it stuck, I’m a pop girl through and through.
"Then when I bought my place did the heavy lifting and ripped up floor boards for me. You will always be the best cook ever! I love you very much."
Isabel’s sister Charlotte is also the spitting image of her, as Isabel demonstrated when it was her sister’s 31st birthday.
"A daughter, a sister, a mother and a wife," she captioned the sweet snap of the pair with their arms around each other. "Happy birthday Charlotte. Love you."
"Forgot you had a twin!" one fan joked in the comments section.
Dreaming of Strictly
Isabel has said in the past that it is her "dream" to compete on Strictly Come Dancing.
She told The Mirror in 2019: "Strictly is the dream. I’d live for the glamour, the sequins, fake tan, everything."
She’s been part of a dance school since she was just four years old, and had initially planned to appear in the West End.
But it looks as though she fell in love with Soapland, as she told Daily Star in 2015: "I remember my first day like it was last week but, because I’ve grown up here, I can’t imagine my life without Emmerdale."
Lovely doggie
Her siblings aren’t the only important part of Isabel’s family - she also has an adorable pet pug, Pierres.
On the pup’s 10th birthday, Isabel shared 10 adorable pics of him growing up, including one sweet snap of the duo having a cuddle on the swings.
"Ten pictures for the ten years Pierres has been alive. A whole DECADE!!!!" she wrote.
