The actress joined Emmerdale in February 2016 and has won several awards for her portrayal of the asexual character – including a British Soap Award in 2018 for Best Young Actor.

Isobel’s character has been at the centre of a number of the soap’s biggest storylines revolving around Liv’s sexuality, alcoholism, and run-ins with the law.

In August, the actress revealed how her character’s dramatic storylines affect her ‘mental wellbeing’. 

At the time, Liv was in a downward spiral of alcoholism after leaving baddie Paul Ashworth to die in the wedding barn explosion.

The youngster’s drinking landed her in hospital after she passed out in a cemetery beside Leanna Cavanagh’s grave – and almost choked on her own vomit.

Speaking about how the scenes have an impact on her mental health, actress Isobel told the Mirror: “It does have an effect on your mental wellbeing. 

“If I’m in a really great mood and I know I’ve got like a whole week of really emotional scenes, I don’t allow myself to be that happy because I find it harder to perform.

“I have to knock myself back a little bit the night before so that I’m in the right headspace to do the scenes.”
