Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins shares ‘unreal’ baby update with adorable video | Soaps

Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins has continued to keep fans up to date with her motherhood journey on Instagram.

While her alter ego, Victoria Sugden, recently bowed out of the ITV soap under incredibly dark circumstances, fleeing the village after killing her utterly psychotic half brother, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), the real reason for her departure was much more wholesome: Isabel was expecting her first baby.

Isabel gave birth to her beautiful baby, a daughter named Georgie Grace, on February 11, posting a reel of her in labour, alongside a super sweet black and white snap of her cradling her new born weeks later.

On her first mothers day, Isabel’s partner, Adam Whitehead, shared a gorgeous tribute to her, posting a carousel of images of mother and baby, alongside an adorable caption.

‘Your first Mother’s Day,’ he began.

‘As if I didn’t already think you were amazing…but watching you become Georgie’s mum has opened my eyes even more. The love, patience and strength you show every day is incredible. We’re so lucky you’re ours.’

Yesterday, Isabel shared a reel detailing a morning with Georgie to her Instagram feed, captioned: ‘Mornings with my little miss’.

Beginning with baby Georgie wriggling on Isabel’s bed, before having a wardrobe change, a couple of nappy changes and Isabel feeding Georgie, the video serves as a glimpse into a morning with a new born.

The comments section was flooded with love, including messages from some of Isabel’s co-stars.

Danny Miller, who plays brother in law, Aaron Dingle, said: ‘Oh hello!!’, to which Isabel replied with a slew of laughing face emojis. Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie Boyd, added: ‘Song choice’, with clapping emojis, while Laura Norton, who plays Kerry Wyatt added simply: ‘Unreal’,

She’s absolute beautiful hun just like her beautiful mam’

@rebeccamason8085 said: ‘Such an adorable little Miss! She’s certainly growing you’re certainly doing something right’, while @julie560595 posted: ‘Motherhood definitely suits you Isabel! Beautiful Mummy & enjoying every minute of your beautiful daughter’

Victoria’s exit from the village came as Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) upped his ‘scumbag of the year’ campaign efforts.

With video footage of Victoria sticking the fatal syringe into John, Joe used this to manipulate Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) into planting incriminating evidence at Moira Dingle’s (Natalie J Robb) farm and ensuring that she be arrested for the murders of Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Anya Berisha (Alia Al-Shabibi), while also being framed for the human trafficking racket ran by the former.

Forced to sell her share of the farm land Joe so desperately craved and battling with the guilt of ending a life, alongside the guilt of Moira languishing in prison as a direct result of her actions, Victoria felt she had to escape the village that held so many painful memories.

With Joe seemingly unbeatable and his control over the village spreading, Victoria decided to head to Portugal for a new life with step-mum, Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen).

We know, though, that Isabel, and Victoria, will be back. As the war between the Tates and the Dingles heating up, will the village even look the same upon her return? And with a queue forming to take revenge on slimy Joe, will she play a part in his inevitable downfall?
