Real Life of ITV Corrie's Bernie Winter actress Jane Hazelgrove married to an EastEnders and Emmerdale star

Coronation Street star Jane Hazelgrove burst onto the famous cobbles as gobby Bernie Winter in 2019 and went on to become a firm favourite with TV fans. In the soap she has been a force to be reckoned with as the straight-talking mum of Gemma and Paul Foreman.

Isobel had three roles in Emmerdale as Dr Lane in 2014, a prosecution barrister during Simon McManus's trial in 2018 and Jean Rawson in 2020. And in the BBC soap EastEnders she
