The Sun are saying that Isabel Hodgkins (Victoria) and Mathew Wolfenden (David) were involved in an incident that saw a mixed race actress mimicked on set and have since been absent from filming.

    Oh dear,

    Although, I can’t think of a mixed race actress who has a particularly strong accent to mimic!

    Ah so that article mentions Matthew arguing with Aaron.

    The other article about Matt/ Is arguing seemed confused as to who was arguing with who. Seems like there's more to their suspension than meets the eye

    My guess would maybe potentially be the actress who plays Priya just based on the fact of it being the actor who played Ellis involved and I guess they would have been filming in a soap bubble alot ( if they are still doing that)

    Yep could very well have been Priya or Meena.

    I guess by deduction it has to be one of Priya, Manpreet or Meena? All three were involved in the stunts that week too. But I guess as Billy says none of them have an accent etc. But I guess we don't know what was actually said etc and how everything happened.

    It seems that the original article about their suspension wasn't correct.

    Of the three actresses, I would say Paige Sandhu has the most distinctive cadence and style of speaking, so my guess is that it is her to which the article refers

    Have just posted this in the other thread i created when The Sun first mentioned the row a couple of weeks ago

    Certainly seems bigger than a slight pause in filming as some suggested back then, especially if Matthew and Isobel haven't been filming for nearly 2 months now

    Matthew and Isobel have not been officially suspended regarding mimicking an actress from the show according to the sun.

    There are rumours on digital spy that the actress could be meena.

    OMG, to coin a phrase! My immediate thought flew to Meeah, but now it’s been pointed out it could easily have been Manpreet or Preya I’ve had to rethink. What is more confusing is that I have never noticed a particular accent between the three of these characters, and I lived in the Far East for several years! Will be watching this unfold with interest,

    I do apologise, my sources let me down. I will be speaking to my neighbour directly about this and hope this is not repeated.

    I’m actually surprised they haven’t been formally suspended.

    Isobelle said it was miscommunication which makes it okay

    Is it supposed to have been what they both said or one was defending the other

    That won’t mean anything to the posters who have an obsession with slagging off The Sun even when it’s obvious somethings gone on🥱.

    Well Paige Sandhu is who they were working with a lot so my guess would be her.

    Whoever it was, hope they got a proper apology and that lessons have been learnt.

    I was hoping it was a petty argument between Matthew and Isobel which would mean that David and Victoria would have to split up :disappointed:

    It's Priya. I know a couple of people who work for ITV.
