Emmerdale star Amy Walsh and EastEnders' Toby-Alexander Smith have announced that they are expecting their first child.
Walsh, who plays Tracy Metcalfe on Emmerdale and is the sister of Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh, told OK! Magazine: "We're so excited to become parents.
"It feels as though the way everything happened was meant to be. I thought I might struggle with fertility, so for pregnancy to happen quite easily and when I wanted - I was gobsmacked. We feel incredibly lucky."

Walsh met Smith - EastEnders' Gray Atkins - when they attended Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and they moved in together four months later due to lockdown.
The actress was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries at the age of 20 and feared she could struggle to become pregnant.
"I always thought falling pregnant was going to be a battle," she told OK! Magazine. "Toby knew how worried I was, especially as I'm a bit older.
"I did wonder if it would ever happen for me, so it feels like a blessing."
