Emmerdale Belle Dingle actress' age, cancer heartache and co-star who loves her forever

Eden Taylor-Draper is one of Emmerdale's most beloved stars.

The soap actress joined the cast of the long-running ITV show as Belle Dingle in 2005. She was aged just seven years old when she took over the role from Emily Mather.

Eden immediately left an impression on the programme as she took home a British Soap Award for Spectacular Scene of the Year in just her second year for the storyline where Daz and Belle fell down a mineshaft. The star hasn't looked back since and Emmerdale fans have followed her dramatic journey to adulthood as a member of one of TV's most turbulent families.
