Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins is pregnant with her first child!
The soap star, who has played Victoria Sugden since 2006, married her partner, Adam Whitehead, just months ago in a fairytale ceremony in Manchester.
She met Adam, a PE teacher, at a gym, and they’ve been together for three years.
Now, Isabel, 31, is thrilled to be starting a family, having confirmed the news and debuted her bump in a gorgeous photoshoot.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, the actress laughed about how Adam, 28, was actually the one to tell her that she was expecting.
‘Isabel was late by a few days, so she did a test. But then, she just threw it on the floor, and it was upside down just lying there,’ Adam explained.
‘I didn’t want to look at it, as I felt it would make time go slower to stare. But Mr Impatient comes along to look at it and sees that it’s positive,’ Isabel joked.
‘But I thought, “Surely we can’t trust it because it’s been upside down, so it might have impacted the result.” We rushed to Boots to buy three more, and they were all positive too, so we thought it must be right!’
Isabel, who is now four months pregnant, added that it’s an ‘exciting but also scary’ time for the newlyweds.
‘It has happened so fast, and it’s our first time,’ she admitted, having originally planned to wed in 2026 before realising they wanted to have babies sooner.
‘I kept changing the goalposts, but this was always the plan!’
The ITV actress, who has appeared in Emmerdale since she was 12, met Adam, who is a PE teacher, at a gym, and they’ve been together for three years.
After sharing their baby joy on social media also, the parents-to-be were inundated with congratulatory messages from her co-stars.
‘Congratulations-absolutely wonderful news 💛💛💛 made up for you both 💛💛💛’, commented Lisa Riley.
‘So happy for you both!!! ❤️❤️❤️’, added Danny Miller.
‘AHHH CONGRATS XOXO’, wrote Bradley Riches.
