ITV Emmerdale's April star Amelia Flanagan wants Corrie sister to win award as she talks soap 'competition'

Emmerdale star Amelia Flanagan has back her younger sister Isabella to win big at an annual awards ceremony this year after they have both been nominated for the same award. The teen actress is best known for playing April Windsor in the ITV soap, the daughter of Marlon Dingle and the late Donna Windsor.

Amelia 14, joined Emmerdale in 2014 and instantly became a hit among viewers - even winning three awards in the space of a year at the Inside Soap Awards and The British Soap Awards. But now she's up against Isabella, who plays Coronation Street's troublesome child Hope Stape, at the Inside Soap Awards 2022.

The two sisters, who also have a famous brother William who plays Joseph Brown in Corrie, are both up for the Best Young Performer award. Amelia's Emmerdale co-star Gabrielle Dowling, who plays Cathy Hope, is also nominated for thegong as well as Isabella's Corrie co-star Jude Riordan, who plays Sam Blakeman.
