Emmerdale’s Victoria Barton star Isabel Hodgins goes Instagram official with new man

EMMERDALE actress Isabel Hodgins has gone Instagram official with her new man - posing for a loved-up snap.

The soap star - who is best known for playing Victoria Barton in the long-running ITV programme - took to her Instagram stories as the pair headed out together.

Isabel, 29, who joined the cast of Emmerdale in 2006, smiled as she snuggled into her beau for a Christmas snap.

The pair appeared to be visiting a swanky hotel, where they stood in front of the gold-decorated tree and a fireplace.

Isabel looked stunning in an oversized blazer and black trousers, which she paired with sparkling high heels.

She let her short locks flow down as she opted for a minimal make-up palette, letting her natural beauty shine through.

Meanwhile, her new beau Adam Whitehead wore black jeans, a white t-shirt and a chequered shirt, with white trainers.

Isabel simply captioned the snap with a Christmas tree, star and yellow heart emoji as she tagged her boyfriend.

It comes after the actress was said to have been enjoying a "romance with a co-star" in a "fling that rocked the cast".

Her character is married to Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) - but off-screen she was dating onscreen brother-in-law Mike Parr, who played Ross Barton on the soap.

She began secretly dating Michael, who joined Emmerdale in 2013, in real life a couple of years later.

The pair let the cat out of the bag on July 15, 2016, when each posted snaps from identical locations while on a romantic break in Paris.
