Isabel trains exclusively at Singer Stage School in Essex and Hetty is her first professional screen acting job. She will be carrying on the success of the school supplying lead children for shows such as Wolfblood, MI High, House of Anubis, Rocket's Island, Eastenders and Hank Zipzer.
Isabel starts filming late June. Isabel said “Sandra told me the news I had been made an offer to play ‘Hetty’ while I was helping at the stage school’s annual audition day. My best birthday present ever”.
The ten-episode series tells the story of flame-haired Victorian foundling Hetty and her adventures. A timeless and compelling tale, which brings the realities of the Victorian age – good, bad, funny and tragic – to life through the eyes of the boys and girls who inhabit the Foundling Hospital.
Other members of the young cast include Gus Barry (represented by A&J Management) as Matthias, leader of the boys' gang, and Jordan Nash (represented by Mark Jermin Management) as Gideon.
The lead writer is Helen Blakeman and executive producer is Foz Allan.
Hetty Feather will air on CBBC in 2014/15.
