32-year-old Isabel is married to Adam Whitehead, and confirmed her pregnancy in August last year.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, 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’s final scenes as Victoria Sugden aired this week in Emmerdale.
The character, who Isabel has played since 2006, chose to depart life in the village for a new one in Portugal, with son Harry and Diane Sugden.
It wasn’t an easy decision, but Victoria felt she had no choice but to leave.
At the start of 2026, Vic killed her brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) managed to obtain video evidence of her covering up his death, and used it as a blackmail weapon.
