While her older sister Amelia is known for starring as April Windsor in Emmerdale, Isabella has been playing the daughter of serial killer John Stape, Hope.

But she’s not the only member of her family to have settled into the cobbles as her twin brother, William, has taken on the role of Joseph Brown, her on-screen cousin.

Isabella was recently nominated for Best Young Performer at the Inside Soap Awards, alongside Emmerdale’s Gabrielle Dowling aka Cathy Hope, Jude Riordan known as Corrie’s Sam Blakeman… and her own sister Amelia.

And with her sister being a successful actress in a rival soap, Isabella has admitted to Inside Soap she has, on occasion, felt “left out.”

“I always felt left out as my sister has won so many awards. So it’s nice to finally be nominated”, she said.

The 11-year-old actress added that things at home can quickly become “heated.”

“There are so many debates at home whenever there are awards ceremonies”, she stated.

This is particularly due to her and her twin brother starring in a soap rivalling Emmerdale.

“Me and my brother are Team Corrie and my sister is obviously team Emmerdale, so it does get a bit heated sometimes!”, Isabella went on.

Despite their rivalry, Isabella claimed she shares a “really great bond” with her two siblings and the atmosphere is “never competitive.”

The siblings even help each other run through lines, pretending to be Weatherfield residents and Amelia has been seen in the cobbles, paying the twins a visit.

Big sister Amelia is fully supportive of her siblings’ careers, telling Inside Soap: “I’m up against Bella for an award for the first time, and as much as I’d love to win, I really hope my sister gets it!”

Isabella, William and Amelia all receive the support of their father Chris who often praises his famous offspring on social media.

Meanwhile, Coronation Street continues to air Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
