However it appears the two may have known each other before they began working together.

Last year Isabel shared a picture with her co-star writing: “Almost 10 years in. My soul mate. Thank you for everything @laura_norts.”

Emmerdale’s return to filming

Emmerdale returned to filming a few weeks ago after production was suspended back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
