We're familiar with their houses in Emmerdale village, but have you ever wondered where your favourite soap stars spend their time away from the Dales? There are several couples within the Emmerdale cast, including Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden, who often share glimpses of their family home on social media, and Michelle Hardwick and Kate Brooks, who bought their own home before tying the knot in September. Meanwhile, Isabel Hodgins, Emma Atkins and others have also posted snaps of their houses and personal lives when they're not busy filming. Take a look through the gallery to see more…

Isabel Hodgins

Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden in the soap, took to Instagram to showcase the new addition to her home in June – an upcycled cabinet that features a painting of Joseph Ducreux on the front. "Latest addition to chateau hodge," Isabel captioned the photo, which showed the cabinet positioned in the corner of a room with dark blue walls and grey wooden flooring.

Charley and Matthew have a spacious kitchen and dining room, which has also been doubling up as a makeshift nursery for their baby, with a Snuzpod cot in the middle of the room. It sat on a cowhide rug alongside a baby activity mat, while a baby chair could also be seen in the background. The open plan room has glass doors leading out to the garden where a wooden dining table and children’s trampoline can be seen in the background. A dining table is also positioned next to the windows, with a stylish pink velvet dining chair adding a pop of colour to the otherwise monochrome room.

Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden

Emmerdale couple Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden live together with their two sons Bowie and Buster, and are expecting their third child together in 2019. The couple's living room has plenty of space for their children to play, with wooden flooring where one of their son's toys can be seen scattered across their fluffy sheepskin rug.

You can trust Charley and Matthew to go all out for holidays like Halloween, decorating their home with creepy skull ornaments and artfully-carved pumpkins. The decorations were placed on a fireplace alongside a quirky parrot lamp, with a round mirror hanging overhead.

The couple transformed their home for Christmas, too, with a life size light-up reindeer and gifts on the floor in their lounge. Even their ornate bookcase was trimmed with white fairy lights, creating a cosy and festive atmosphere.

Emma's super-organised kitchen cupboards put ours to shame. The actress has stored all of her ingredients in separate glass jars, all labelled so they're easy to find.

We're familiar with their houses in Emmerdale village, but have you ever wondered where your favourite soap stars spend their time away from the Dales? There are several couples within the Emmerdale cast, including Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden, who often share glimpses of their family home on social media. Meanwhile, Gaynor Faye, Katherine Dow Blyton, and others have also posted snaps of their houses and personal lives when they're not busy filming. Take a look through the gallery to see more…

Katherine Dow Blyton

Emmerdale star Katherine Dow Blyton regularly shares photos of her home life on Twitter, where she lives with her beloved dog Dexter. One snap of her dog relaxing on her bed gives a peek inside the Harriet Finch actress' bedroom, which has a muted cream and grey colour scheme, with shutter blinds at the windows, framed photos hanging on the wall, and a vase of flowers next to the bed.

Gaynor Faye

The few images Gaynor Faye has posted from her home show how she has placed houseplants and flowers in many of her rooms, and added splashes of colour with floral print cushions and a bold purple sofa – a cosy spot for her cats to stretch out. Meanwhile, the living areas have wooden flooring and pale cream walls, with a metallic-framed mirror hanging on the walls, and decorative items including a silver candleholder and Buddha model on display.

Priya Sharma actress Fiona Wade's home was the setting for a romantic proposal from her former co-star Simon Cotton over Christmas 2018. Simon had scattered candles around their living room, and placed a beautiful bouquet of flowers on a coffee table next to the window.

Michelle Hardwick and Kate Brooks

Another Emmerdale couple happily living together is Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa Woodfield, and the show's producer Kate Brooks. The pair moved into their new home in summer 2018, and haven't been able to resist sharing photos from the property on social media. "And we're in! #newhome," Michelle captioned this photo, which showed a reception room with striking baroque wallpaper, wooden flooring, and an ornate light fitting hanging from the ceiling.

The couple have a second cosy lounge which has a muted colour palette of creams and browns. The TV sits on a wooden cabinet in the corner of the room, with a leather armchair, brown sofa and matching foot stall positioned around it. Decorative touches include a vase of sunflowers and candles over the fireplace, and another statement light fitting at the centre of the room.
