Former Emmerdale stat Mike Parr has gone Instagram official with his new girlfriend Isabelle Du Plessis after sharing a sweet snap together in Greece

The actor, who is best known for his role as Ross Barton on the popular ITV soap revealed his new relationship status in a sweet Instagram upload. Confirming he is now coupled up with Isabelle Du Plessis, the 36-year-old heartthrob broke the news with an image of the pair cuddling in a photo in Santorini, Greece.

Mike left the cobbles of Emmerdale behind him in 2018 after five years in his role and tends to keep his personal life away from prying eyes. However, he went Instagram official with his new belle in the love-up bar snap.

It was a rare upload by Mike, whose last Instagram grid upload came over six months ago. The black-and-white snap at the time saw the actor enjoying the beach life in India last year as he chilled in a pineapple-print shirt, which he had left open to show his toned torso.

The latest relationship revelation comes after Mike split with his co-star partner Isabel Hodgins. The former couple are said to have been dating in secret before enjoying three years together. However, the relationship came to an end and there had been rumours Isabel had had a fling prior to their relationship being official with fellow Emmerdale star Danny Miller.

The pair called it a day a year after Mike left the soap. He made the move to try to break through stateside, but Isabel remained on the show. According to a source, the couple simply drifted apart. The insider told The Sun: “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.
