ITV Emmerdale's Eden Taylor-Draper tells co-star 'I love you' in sweet tribute

Emmerdale's Eden Taylor-Draper told co-star Isobel Steele "I love you" as she marked her last day on the soap.

Isobel is best known for playing Liv Dingle on the long-running soap. She joined the ITV show in 2016 and immediately established herself as a fan favourite as she won Best Young Actor at the British Soap and Inside Soap awards.

But in sad scenes that aired last night, Liv died after she was trapped beneath a flying caravan which pinned her to the ground. In an emotional Instagram post, actress Isobel summed up her time on the soap: "And that’s a wrap on Liv Dingle. Hard to put into words what this show and the people in it mean to me and how big a decision it was to leave.

"Thank you to every single person I ever worked with and to those that pushed me to be a better person and a better actor. Thank you to everyone who watches the show and has supported me throughout, none of it went unnoticed.

"Thank you to Kate Oates, Ian MacLeod & Jane Hudson. I love you all so much, you know who you are. The most bizarre and wonderful place to have grown up. I’m gonna miss it so much. On to the next! X".

Several of Isobel's co-stars commented on the post. Rosie Bentham, who plays Gabby, said: "BRB [be right back] crying."

Natalie Jamieson, who stars as Amy, said: "Not a dry eye to be seen. Well done gorge - can’t wait to see where your talent takes you next! We miss ya already."

Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon, said: "What a performance. You’re ace. Go get ‘em !!!" And Eden Taylor-Draper added: "ILY [I love you]."
