Emmerdale's Victoria Sugden star looks stunning in Bridgerton-inspired transformation

Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins looked worlds away from her soap character over the weekend.

The actress, who is best known for playing Victoria Sugden in the ITV soap, took to Instagram with a series of glamourous snaps.

Isabel underwent a Bridgerton-inspired transformation to help celebrate her former co-star's 30th birthday.

Max Parker, who played Victoria's ex Luke Posner in the ITV soap, held his big bash in what looked like a very regal manor.

One of the images from the event saw Isabel gazing into the distance while standing on a grand staircase that had been decorated with a row of flowers.

The 28-year-old, from Eccles, looked stunning in a white gown that had been covered in sparkly details with a frilled skirt.

The whole look was complete with a silver bedazzled tiara.

"After an exhausting day practicing piano forte a night on the ton was enjoyed by all for @maxparker____ Bridgerton themed 30th and what a night it was," she captioned the snap to her thousands of followers.

Former co-star Charley Webb was among the first to comment, writing: "What a beauty."

Lawrence Robb, who stars in Emmerdale as Mackenzie Boyd, said: "This is a delish post!! I applaud you."

Fans were also rushing to have their say.

@marylove483 said: "You look absolutely amazing."

"What a lovely idea. And you look amazing. That dress. Wow," @lindy3008 wrote.

@shackleton.sophie commented: "Wow you look stunning."

"Look like a royal princess," @paiges._.emmerdale added.

But Isabel then confused her fans with her next post.

Posing next to the birthday boy himself, the soap star said: "That feeling when you secure your love match and he doesn’t just want you for your dowry."

Congratulatory messages soon came flooding in with another saying: "Wow love your gown didn't realize u were a couple lovely."

However, Max actually recently got engaged to his former co-star Kris Mochrie, who played his on-screen brother Lee Posner.

Kris and Max, who met on the set of the ITV soap, revealed their happy news last weekend after first going public with their romance in July 2020.

Max shared the couple's engagement news on Instagram last month alongside a selection of photographs from the special moment he got down on one knee on the beach in South Africa.
