Izzy Armstrong is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, portrayed by Cherylee Houston. The character first appears on-screen on 16 April 2010; she is introduced as a new love interest for Kirk Sutherland (Andrew Whyment). Following her arrival, she gets a job at the Underworld factory. Upon her debut, she was heralded as the soap's first disabled regular character in 50 years.[2] Izzy was the first member of the Armstrong family to be introduced, her father Owen and sister Katy arrived within two months after her first appearance.
In February 2021, after not being seen on air for a while, it was revealed Izzy had not and would not appear for a while due to Houston having to shield because of the COVID-19 pandemic, although she stated her intention to return when it is safe to do so.[3] She briefly returned on 21 April and again on 7 June 2021 through video call.[4]
