She added: “Thank you for being part of my family @laura_norts.”

Isabel and Laura’s friendship
Laura joined the Emmerdale cast as Kerry Wyatt in 2012. Meanwhile, Isabel has been playing Victoria since 2006.
The pair have worked together on the soap for eight years.
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.”
