Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden breaks his social media silence after getting ’embroiled in a heated on-set row’ with co-star Isabel Hodgins
Matthew Wolfenden has broken his social media silence after news of his explosive row with Isabel Hodgins on the set of Emmerdale.
The actor, 41, who plays David Metcalfe on the soap, and the actress, 27, who plays his on-screen girlfriend Victoria Sugden, reportedly clashed while shooting new scenes with Aaron Anthony, while the cast were filming dramatic waterfall scenes in Stockton-on-Tees for a special episode.
And Matthew put any bad blood aside for the time being as he cooked eggs for a family breakfast on Sunday, sharing a clip of himself in the kitchen on Instagram.

‘Tempers were running very high. It was tense and bosses got to hear about what had gone on very quickly.’
‘While they were on set a comment was made which unintentionally caused offence, and an argument broke out among some of the cast members.’
The insider added that Emmerdale took the allegations seriously and that Matthew and Isabel did not film scenes while inquiries were made.

The matter was then resolved and no further action was taken. The pair were then back on set last week.
The on-screen couple reportedly took a break from filming at Tees Barrage water park in Stockton-on-Tees while bosses made inquiries.
The stunt was to help mark ITV’s Super Soap Week last month.
An Emmerdale spokeswoman said: ‘While we would never comment on individual cases, Emmerdale has robust policies in place to deal with any allegations brought to our attention and take the appropriate steps. Neither actor has been suspended from Emmerdale.’
Representatives for the pair as well as ITV were contacted by MailOnline for a comment.
