ITV Coronation Street's Hope Stape star poses with lookalike Emmerdale actress sister as they celebrate career announcement

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Coronation Street star Isabelle Flanagan and Emmerdale actress Amelia Flanagan both had something to celebrate this week. The ITV soap star siblings posed together for a snap posted by their proud dad after they received some exciting career news.

Viewers will best know Amelia for her role as April Windsor over in the Dales, while her sister Isabella plays Hope Stape on the cobbles.

And the pair couldn't look more alike as their dad Chris shared his pride for his girls. Isabella, 11, smiled for the camera as she appeared to have been interrupted from tucking into a bowl of fruit while her older sister Amelia, looking different to her ITV soap character thanks to her donning a pair of dark-rimmed glasses, put a loving and protective arm around her younger sister.

They join Jude Riordan, who plays Sam Blakeman in Corrie, and Sonny Kendall, known for playing Tommy Moon in EastEnders, in the category.
