Emmerdale’s Victoria Barton star Isabel Hodgins shares heartfelt birthday tribute to rarely seen boyfriend

Emmerdale's Isabel Hodgins has shared a sweet birthday tribute to her rarely seen boyfriend.

The actress is well known for her role as Victoria Barton on the ITV hit soap and since joining in soap in 2006 when she was just 12 years old she quickly became a fan favourite. The role of Victoria was initially played by Jessica Haywood from 1994 to 1998 before then being replaced by Hannah Midgley from 1998 to 2006.

Some of Isabel’s biggest storylines on the soap include being placed in psychiatric care, marrying Adam Barton and falling in love with his brother Matty, as well as being the victim of a horrific rape. Last year Victoria split from her on-screen boyfriend David Metcalfe after deceit over a speeding ticket destroyed their relationship.

The star shared a heartfelt message to her new boyfriend, Adam Whitehead, as he celebrates his birthday. She shared a collage of snaps alongside the caption: "Happy birthday sleeping beauty."
