Now Isabella has been nominated for Best Young Performer at the Inside Soap Awards, and will be going head-to-head with her older sister for the accolade.
Also nominated is Emmerdale’s Gabrielle Dowling, who plays Cathy Hope, and Jude Riordan, Corrie’s Sam Blakeman.
Speaking to Inside Soap about her life at home with her siblings, Isabella explained: “I always felt left out as my sister has won so many awards. So it’s nice to finally be nominated.”
She added that the siblings have plenty of “heated” conversations, explaining: “There are so many debates at home whenever there are awards ceremonies.
“Me and my brother are Team Corrie and my sister is obviously team Emmerdale, so it does get a bit heated sometimes!”
Isabella confirmed that the trio do support each other and run lines together, describing their “really great bond”.
Her sister Amelia added that the atmosphere between them is “never competitive”, explaining that she often pretends to be a character from Coronation Street while running lines with her siblings, while they take on Emmerdale personas.
