Many people are interested in learning more about Eden Taylor-actual Draper’s age because she plays Belle Dingle, one of the younger cast members of Emmerdale.
Actress Eden Taylor-Draper has played Belle Dingle on the enduring series Emmerdale. The ITV soap is the actress from North Yorkshire’s largest role to date. The soap star’s bio on yzee.uk includes information on her age.
How old is Emmerdale star Eden Taylor-Draper?
Eden, who is 24 years old and not too dissimilar in age to her character, was born in Selby, Yorkshire on October 28, 1997.
In contrast, Belle, the youngest child of Zak (Steve Halliwell) and Lisa, was born on Christmas Day 1998. She is 23 years old (Jane Cox).
She wasn’t the first actress to play Belle; Emily Mather performed the role from 1998 to 2005.
Since her first appearance in the ITV soap opera when she was only eight years old, Eden has been playing the part for 17 years.
Her largest role to date is in Emmerdale, and she has also appeared in a 2007 short film called The Cardiac Oak.
Eden has received numerous honors during her time on Emmerdale, including a Yorkshire Young Achievers Award, a British Soap Award, and an Inside Soap Award.
Sebastian and Francesca, her younger brother and sister, are her siblings.
Eden has talked about the cancer diagnosis that her sister Francesca received when she was only 14 years old.
The Teenage Cancer Trust now counts Eden and her sister Francesca as ambassadors.
Together, the two sisters appeared on ITV’s Lorraine to discuss teen cancer and its effects on mental health.
While filming Emmerdale, Eden described the moment she learned about her sister’s condition: “We were on a tea break and they said, ‘Just go. We’re here for you, whatever you need.
“And I was just in shock, but they did give me a month off so I could be there while Chess was receiving intensive chemo,” I said. Yes, they were incredible.
Francesca had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer that progresses rapidly and required prompt treatment.
To see her younger sister going through so much at such a young age, according to Eden, was “tough.”
Even though you’re there to support them, she said, “You can’t fix it, and you can’t help.”
A campaign to increase public awareness of mental health services for teenagers with cancer has the support of both Eden and Francesca.
The ordeal brought the two sisters closer together despite the cancer diagnosis.
We couldn’t be any closer because of the friendship we’ve developed while being sisters, according to Eden.
In the interview from 2021, Francesca claimed she was doing better at the time. She turned 18 in April of this year, and Eden shared a photo of them on her Instagram page.
“My bestie just turned 18,” she wrote in a post to her 100,000 followers alongside the photo.
