EMMERDALE star Mike Parr has taken to social media to show off his new girlfriend Isabelle Du Plessis.
Mike, 36, is best known for playing Ross Barton on the ITV soap until he quit in 2018.
The actor keeps his personal life to himself for the most part, but today he shared a selfie taken with his gorgeous partner by the beach.
The pair looked relaxed in the snap as they lounged by a bar in Santorini.
Isabelle has been posting updates from their romantic getaway to Greece, where the couple is staying in a luxury hotel with a pool.
The Sun previously revealed that Mike joined a dating app in a bid to find love after splitting up with his co-star Isabel Hodgins.
He was spotted on Bumble, where he specified that he was looking for a relationship.
Luckily, it seems the actor found what he was looking for!
And this romance should have less of an effect on his career than his last relationship, which created tension between Mike and some other cast members on set.
He initially started dating Isabel secretly, and the pair did go on to have a serious relationship which lasted three years.
However, before they became official, rumours went around that Isabel had a fling with another Emmerdale star – Danny Miller.
This caused friction between Mike and Danny, and at the time a source told the Sun: “The tension between them caused major problems on set, because Michael made it crystal clear he didn’t want to be around Danny.
“The revelations caused arguments among the cast who split into two camps.”
Michael and Isabel managed to move on from the incident, and ended up making their relationship public in the summer of 2016, when each of them posted a snap from a couples’ holiday in Paris.
In 2019 they eventually broke up as Mike quit the soap to try and crack America while Isabel remained on the show.
Someone close to the couple shared: “They drifted apart and felt it was better to be mates. He has been throwing himself into his social life and has just been on a lads’ hol and she is focusing on work, they’re both young and want to follow their dreams.
“They had a meaningful relationship and they’ll remember the good times.”
