“Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden on Emmerdale, is expecting her first child with her husband.”
“Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins shared a major pregnancy update, showing off her growing baby bump while at the gym.
The actress became well-known after joining the ITV soap in 2006 as Victoria Sugden, a character who has since been part of several major storylines.
Off-screen, Isabel revealed in August that she is expecting her first child with her new husband, Adam Whitehead, just months after their wedding.
Isabel and Adam tied the knot in April at a fairy-tale ceremony at Castlefield Rooms in Manchester city centre. Since then, the couple has been enjoying a happy start to married life, with Isabel confirming her pregnancy news in August.”
“On Instagram, the soap star shared a photo of herself and Adam holding the scan, writing: ‘First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes… Baby Whitehead.’
Since then, Isabel has been keeping fans in the loop about her pregnancy journey. Recently, she posted a video of herself working out at the gym, looking fantastic while showing off her growing baby bump.
She captioned the clip: ‘Gym with bump. Eating for two. Training for two.’”
“However, some followers voiced their concerns, with one writing: ‘Be careful.’ Another warned: ‘Careful, you might hurt yourself lifting those weights.’ A third added: ‘Love this video, but please be careful, especially with the bump.’
Meanwhile, other fans praised Isabel and offered support. One commented: ‘Wow, you’re doing amazing and look absolutely radiant.’ Another wrote: ‘Yes Isabel! Who says pregnant mums can’t stay fit? You’re doing so well, keep going.’
A third fan added: ‘You’re glowing, pregnancy really suits you,’ while a fourth chimed in: ‘See, you can do anything while pregnant.’”
“Isabel also received support from her Emmerdale co-stars. Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie Boyd, said: ‘This really made me smile,’ while Danny Miller, portraying Aaron Dingle, wrote: ‘Very, very good.’
The actress’s pregnancy update comes after she hinted at taking a temporary break from Emmerdale to focus on motherhood. Speaking to The Mirror in August, Isabel explained: ‘I will miss it. I love the people there, but I’ve worked on the show for 19 years, so I feel like I’ve achieved what I wanted and have been selfish with my career.
‘Now it’s time to dedicate my life to being a mum — that feels right to me. But there’s still FaceTime, so they won’t forget me!’”
