Emmerdale startled by 'heated on-set clash between stars during big stunt scene'

Emmerdale has been startled by a “very heated” clash between stars when they were on set, sources claim.

It’s reported Matthew Wolfenden and Isabel Hodgins were caught up in a dispute while filming a big stunt on the soap opera.

It’s claimed the pair were embroiled in a row while recording alongside Aaron Anthony.

A source said to The Sun “it was very heated”.

The paper adds a probe was launched into the row off-screen.

Matthew, 41, Isabel, 27, and Aaron travelled to film a dramatic waterfall scene in a nail-biting episode for a big stunt.

The pair, who play couple David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden, didn’t see eye-to-eye on-set when filming with Aaron, who plays personal trainer Ellis Chapman.

Tempers flared behind the camera, with the source adding: “It left a lot of those present at the filming feeling uncomfortable. It was a very heated situation. Tempers were running very high. It was tense and bosses got to hear about what had gone on very quickly.”

It’s said Matthew and Isabel took a break from filming at Tees Barrage water park in Stockton-on-Tees after the argument.

Another insider claimed a comment was made when everyone was “under pressure” to make the scenes work for an episode on October 19.

They said: “Emmerdale take these kind of ­allegations very seriously, and Matthew and Isabel did not film scenes while inquiries were made. It was not a decision they took lightly, as it had huge consequences for the team as they are massive characters. But the bosses felt it was a necessary step to take.”

But it’s believed it was fully investigated and no further action was necessary.

An Emmerdale spokeswoman said last night: “While we would never comment on individual cases, Emmerdale has robust policies in place to deal with any allegations brought to our attention and take the appropriate steps. Neither actor has been suspended from Emmerdale.”

Matthew, who is married to fellow Emmerdale star Charley Webb, joined the show in 20016 as hunk David.

Isabel joined the same year aged just 12.

Matthew won Dancing on Ice in 2012 and has become one of the soap’s favourite characters.
