After five years starring as Ross Barton in Emmerdale, Michael left the soap in 2018, however he made a shock return six years later - with much changing in his life since then
The soap star made his debut in Emmerdale back in 2013 and remained on the show for five years before he departed.
When Michael left Emmerdale in 2018, he had been dating his co-star Isabel Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden. The pair kept their romance a secret, but went Instagram official in July 2016.Now Isabel is engaged to her partner Adam Whitehead, who proposed in November 2023, and Michael also has a new partner.
While he is back on the Yorkshire soap, Michael has spent part of the past few years working in America. It’s not such a reach for him as he holds dual U.S. and British nationality allowing him to work there without needing a visa. His girlfriend Isabelle also has a close connection to New York as she emigrated there. She has shared her adventures in the Big Apple on social media, before returning back to England earlier this year.“My family are from Brooklyn Heights,” he said during an appearance on Lorraine. “My grandad fought in Vietnam and came over to the UK and was based in Warrington in Burtonwood. He met my lovely nan and they moved back to America.
