Away from the village drama, Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins just shared a moment that melted hearts far beyond the Dales. The actress posted a sweet clip on Instagram showing her husband dancing gently with their newborn daughter, and fans quickly flooded her with love after she captioned it “First father daughter dance.”
A Special Moment After Georgie’s Arrival
Isabel Hodgins, who has played Victoria Sugden for nearly twenty years, recently became a mum for the first time. She and husband Adam Whitehead welcomed their daughter Georgie Grace Whitehead earlier this month.
The couple, who married in Manchester last year, announced the birth on February 13 through an emotional video. It showed Isabel in hospital during labour before a blank screen revealed the details. Georgie arrived on February 11 at 1:02am weighing 8lbs 5oz.
The video then cut to the sound of their newborn crying while Isabel held her in her arms. She wrote, “And then we heard you.” Adam replied in the comments, calling her “the best birthday present I could ever imagine,” while her Emmerdale co-stars rushed to congratulate the new parents.
Since bringing Georgie home, the pair have been sharing small glimpses of family life, but their latest post gave fans their favourite moment yet.
The First Father Daughter Dance That Won Everyone Over
In a new Instagram clip, Adam gently swayed around the room holding baby Georgie, carefully supporting her as she rested against him. Isabel captioned the video simply, “First father daughter dance.”
The short video instantly resonated with followers, many calling it the sweetest update yet. Viewers loved how calm and tender the moment looked, a quiet scene that captured the reality of those first newborn days.
Her co stars quickly joined in. Laura Norton praised the couple and joked she was “winning at life,” while Lucy Pargeter laughed that the adorable footage was too much for her to handle. Their playful responses encouraged even more fans to react.
Fans filled the comments with affection, with many saying moments like these pass too quickly and should be treasured. One follower told her that the early days as a family of three are perfect, while another said the pair looked incredibly happy and urged them to enjoy every second. For now, the new parents appear to be soaking in every second, from cuddles to slow dances in the living room. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale spoilers.
