Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins to leave the ITV show after announcing pregnancy
Because of this exciting news, the Emmerdale star has hinted that she will be exiting the show for a period of time to focus on the child.
Discussing this decision, the ITV star told The Mirror: 'I will miss it. I love the people there, but I've worked there for 19 years, so I feel like I've done what I've wanted to do and been selfish with my career.
'Now, it's time to devote my life to being a mum, that feels right to me. But there's still FaceTime, so they won't forget me!'
Announcing the news of her pregnancy over the weekend, she shared an emotional Instagram post reading: 'First comes love, Then comes marriage, Then comes… Baby Whitehead."
Co-stars were quick to write heartfelt messages in response, with Mandy Dingle star Lisa Riley penning: 'Congratulations-absolutely wonderful news. Made up for you both.'

This Morning star he says 'my father rarely talked about it' as he breaks down
This Morning viewers were felt feeling emotional as show regular Gyles Brandreth broke down in tears live on-air This Morning favourite Gyles Brandreth was overcome with emotion as he broke down in tears whilst discussing his late father - who fought in World War Two. During Friday's (August 15) instalment of the ITV daytime programme, presenters Emma Willis and Craig Doyle devoted a poignant segment to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day), which marked the conclusion of World War Two. The touching tribute took an intensely moving direction as Gyles, a regular contributor to This Morning, became tearful whilst reflecting on his late father. Following an emotional footage, Gyles - who was seated on the sofa beside journalist Rachel Johnson - went on to describe how stirring it was to witness the King and Queen conducting a two-minute silence. Emma began by remarking: "To reflect further on this historical day, Gyles Brandreth and Rachel Johnson are back. It's so emotional when you watch that, it really does make you stop and think," reports Wales Online. Gyles responded: "To see there veterans, who were actually alive, taking part in what was for many people called the forgotten war. The people in Burma thought they were the forgotten army." He went on: "To see the King there, whose grandfather spoke at the end of war and said this is Victory over Japan Day, it was the final end." Gyles continued: "Whenever we talk about the war, I think about my own parents. My father was in the army for six years during the Second World War in intelligence and he rarely talked about it." A photograph of his father then appeared on the screen and Gyles became tearful, declaring: "There he is, bless him. Oh that's rather touching." Fighting back emotion, he continued: "They're good people, really good people. Interestingly, they very rarely talked about it. They just got on with it." Craig responded: "It's very poignant. So many people will be feeling like you right now Gyles - sad and very proud." Home viewers were moved by the heartfelt moment and quickly took to social media to express their feelings. One viewer posted on X, formerly Twitter: "@GylesB1 @thismorning Thank you for showing such pride and raw emotion to your viewers this morning. Sets such a positive example. #vjday2025 #ThisMorning." Another commented: "Oh Gyles, such raw emotion #thismorning." A third wrote: "Awww Giles, I am crying now #thismorning." One posted: "Wow Gyles, raw emotion tbf #thismorning."

Lewis Hamilton hints he is taking a break with cryptic two-word tweet after Ferrari star's F1 struggles
The break follows his explosive comments regarding Ferrari's choice of driver taking a brake Lewis Hamilton hints he is taking a break with cryptic two-word tweet after Ferrari star's F1 struggles LEWIS HAMILTON has put fans on alert after making a curt and cryptic post to his social media accounts. The seven-time world champion hinted that he is taking a break from social media in a two-word post uploaded to his 8.6 million followers on X. 4 Lewis Hamilton has posted a series of cryptic messages on his social media accounts Credit: Getty 4 The racing legend posted images of himself and his dog Roscoe in a scenic natural environment Credit: Instagram / lewishamilton Advertisement 4 He captioned the posts around the theme of getting away from his phone, and by extension, social media Credit: Instagram / lewishamilton The F1 legend has had a tough run of things in recent weeks as he continues his struggle to find his feet with new team Ferrari this season. Hamilton's message to fans was simply "back soon," implying the British sporting icon is stepping away from social media for a spell. This ties in with his earlier posts from this afternoon, when he posted a scenic picture of him and his bulldog Roscoe with the caption "Outta office." Advertisement He posted similar sentiments to his Instagram account, captioning the same images "DND" - Do Not Disturb. READ MORE IN F1 LEW SHOULD GO Hamilton told to quit F1 and demand £180m before 'anything bad happens' When one fan replied with "touching grass, literally" - a reference to a phrase meaning to get out of your house or place of work and go outside, he replied in agreement. "Exactly," the 40-year-old said, suggesting he is taking the time away from social media to reconnect with other areas of his life. It is no surprise that the racing champion is keen to get away from it all, considering the brutal few weeks he has been through recently on the track. Advertisement Hamilton did not land with the splash he was hoping for since making the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari ahead of the 2025 season and has failed to make any real headway in the championship race. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He is yet to register a podium finish this season, and sits 42 points behind teammate and five-time podium holder Charles Leclerc in the drivers' standings. But it was in the most recent races in Belgium and Hungary that things really escalated for the Stevenage native. 'I'm absolutely useless' - Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari 'need to change driver' after Hungarian GP qualifying nightmare Hamilton had a nightmare start to the Belgian Grand Prix weekend at Spa in late July, qualifying in 16th after a shocking knockout in Q1. Advertisement But things went from bad to worse as he was slapped with a 60-place grid penalty and forced to start from 18th after taking on a new power unit. He was keen to right his wrongs at the Hungarian GP the following week, but things were only going to get more dire. Hamilton only managed to make it to Q2 at the Hungaroring, prompting an outburst in a post-qualifying interview in which he labelled himself "absolutely useless." "It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless," he said following his 12th place qualifying finish. 4 Hamilton appeared distraught as he talked media through his disappointing qualifying performance Credit: Getty Advertisement "The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole so we probably need to change driver." Former team boss Toto Wolff came out in defence of Hamilton following his comments, and suggested that he could still come back and challenge at the very top of the sport. F1 icon Bernie Ecclestone was perhaps the Brit's harshest critic, suggesting Hamilton should retire before his legacy suffers at the hands of his declining performances. Whether it be his conduct on or off the track, or the comments of those around him in F1, it is becoming increasingly clear that the pressure is mounting on the shoulders of one of the best to ever do it. His next chance to turn things around will be at the Dutch GP at Zandvoort in two weeks.

Katie Price posts cryptic comment about ‘not judging' amid war of words with Peter Andre
Pete warned he more to say after his shock rant at Katie cat's right Katie Price posts cryptic comment about 'not judging' amid war of words with Peter Andre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price shared a cryptic post about 'not judging' after her online slanging match with ex-husband Peter Andre. Last night Pete, 52, furiously hit back at claims 47-year-old Katie made about their children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Katie shared a cryptic post amid her slanging match with Pete Credit: WireImage 3 She shared a snap of one of her many Sphynx cats and said 'they don't judge' Credit: Snapchat/Backgrid 3 Last night Pete made a rare public comment about his ex-wife Credit: Instagram The former glamour model wasted no time in responding to Pete's words and now she's made her feelings clear. Katie shared a snap of one of her many Sphynx cats and added: 'They don't judge.' It comes after Pete made a rare public comment on his ex-wife after she said during the latest episode of her podcast: 'This is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we've shared the kids.' But Pete fired back: 'For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating." He continued: "That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. "For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. "In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children.' Pete signed off: 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.' But Katie had a defiant response to her ex's post, with a representative for the former glamour model telling The Sun: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. Katie Price takes another savage swipe at ex Peter Andre and says Princess is 'scared to tell the truth' "This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. "Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.'
