The soap star sisters were praised for their charity efforts

A Coronation Street and Emmerdale sibling duo have declared ‘we did it’ as they revealed their huge joint achievement.

Some may be aware that Isabella Flanagan, who plays Corrie’s Hope Dobbs, and Amelia Flanagan, who stars as April Windsor in the Dales, are sisters.

Amelia has been portraying April since 2014 and has earned several accolades for her performances, having just this week picked up the best young performer gong at the 2025 Inside Soap Awards.

Bella, meanwhile, is part of Corrie’s iconic Dobbs family, having joined in 2017, and stars in the ITV soap alongside her twin brother, William, who fans will know for playing Weatherfield’s Joseph Brown.

In a previous interview, Bella has said she was influenced to take up acting by her older sibling. She said: “I’ve wanted to be on TV for a long time, my sister has been in Emmerdale since she was five and I love watching her.

“My audition [for Corrie] was a really fun script and I was so excited when Ology [casting agency] rang my mum to give us the good news [she got the role].”

While they don’t work together on-screen, Amelia and Bella have joined forces off it as they were seen completing a charity climb over the weekened.

The two soap stars took on Mount Snowdon as part of ‘team Lewis’ to raise vital funds for Alder Hey Children’s Charity. According to the Just Giving page: “Lewis is now 21 surgeries down, hundreds of appointments and thousands of miles travelled in the car to Alder Hey.

“Last year he decided he wanted to climb Snowdon, this is not going to be easy for Lewis as he is not great on his feet, but he is adamant he wants to take on this challenge to give back to the hospital that have truly helped him become the amazing young man he is today.”

A message on the page continues: “A fantastic group of friends and family are joining us to try and encourage Lewis to keep going. Alder Hey Children’s Hospital is a truly inspirational place with amazing surgeons, nurses and staff who have always made us all feel so welcome and cared so well for Lewis over the years. Thank you as always for your support.”

Having helped the team complete the climb, Amelia took to Instagram from the Snowdon summit and said: “We did it!!”

Amelia and Bella’s mum, Rachel, also shared an update on her Instagram page, which revealed William also took part in the charity effort.

Alongside a video, a caption read: “The most amazing day raising money for @alderhey with @teamlewischallenges So many people came together and climbed Snowdon if you wanted to still donate link is in my bio……. @ameliaflanagan08 @bellaflanaganofficial_ @will.flanagan.official @ramseyhelen @donnaconnett74 @johnconnett.”
