Isabelle Smith, who plays Frankie Osborne on the popular soap Hollyoaks, recently shared her struggles with endometriosis while filming. This 22-year-old actress joined the cast earlier this year and has been open about her painful illness. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it.
During a recent Q&A session on Instagram, a fan asked Isabelle how she manages to film while dealing with the disease. Isabelle admitted that it can be challenging at times, especially during a flare up. However, she makes sure to communicate with her colleagues and take things at her own pace. She never lets her illness stop her from doing what she loves, but she also listens to her body and takes breaks when needed.
Isabelle also shared that she always carries a hot water bottle with her, even in hot weather. Her portrayal of Frankie, a character who has been sexually abused by her twin brother since the age of nine, has earned her recognition and nominations for various awards. She was recently nominated for the Caroline Aherne prize for Best Breakthrough Talent at the Royal Television Society Awards North West, and also made the long list for Best Newcomer at the TV Choice Awards.
Expressing her gratitude on Instagram, Isabelle said she was honored to be nominated alongside other amazing women. She also couldn't believe that she had been long listed for Best Newcomer at the TV Choice Awards. Isabelle plays a brave and strong character on the show, and her recent scenes where Frankie opens up to her father about her abuse have been praised by fans.
While Frankie's abuser was banished from the Osborne family, their mother initially believed his lies. However, after a heart-to-heart conversation with Frankie, she finally believed her daughter and stood by her. Isabelle's performance in these emotional scenes was highly praised by viewers. Despite her struggles with endometriosis, Isabelle continues to shine on Hollyoaks and we can't wait to see what she does next.
