Isobel Steele in Emmerdale
Isobel was only 15 when she took on the part of Liv Flaherty. But she was already a pretty experienced actress.
She’d started her career as a child and starred in adverts for all sorts of businesses from Iceland to Furniture Village.
Later she played a character called Barbara in the BBC series Our Zoo, and followed that with roles in The Dumping Ground, and a short film called Father’s Day.
She was cast as Liv Flaherty – Aaron’s half-sister – in 2016 and quickly made her mark on Emmerdale.
All before she’d even done her GCSEs!
In fact, talented Isobel took a break from the show in 2017 to concentrate on her exams!
Isobel Steele in Emmerdale’s singing career
Alongside her acting career, Isobel has another string to her bow. She’s a talented musician and singer and has her own YouTube channel where she posts videos of her music.
She’s not the only talented musician in the Emmerdale cast, so during lockdown the team all began releasing videos of themselves singing under the name The Woolpack Sessions.
Fans were thrilled with Isobel’s cover version of The Winner Takes it All by Abba and stunned by her gorgeous singing voice.
But the sweet songstress doesn’t just record other people’s tracks. She’s also an accomplished songwriter herself.

What’s next?
Isobel’s being kept super busy with all Liv’s on-screen antics as has finally been released from prison after being wrongfully accused of murdering Ben Tucker.
But she’s still managing to find time to continue with her songwriting and singing and even squeezing in some fun on the XBox with her younger brother.
