Soap couple Amy Walsh and Toby-Alexander Smith have finally revealed the name of their first child.
The couple welcomed a baby girl over the festive period.
Emmerdale star Amy, who plays Tracy Metcalfe in the ITV soap, has also revealed all on her long labour.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, the new parents shared they've named their baby girl Bonnie Mae Smith.
Explaining their choice, Toby, who plays evil Grey Atkins in EastEnders, said: "We'd go on walks around the lake where Amy used to live in Leeds during lockdown and talk about names.
"Bonnie was one that came up really early, even before Amy was pregnant."
Amy added to the publication: "Whenever we hypothetically talked about our family, we always said “our little Bonnie”. When she came, she couldn’t have been more of a Bonnie."
New mum Amy, who was due on Christmas Eve, said there was a couple of weeks off 'drama' after having Covid earlier in December.
And the birth wasn't quite as the couple planned.
Amy tested positive for Group B strep - an infection which we carry as adults but with pregnancy, it can affect the baby if you've got it at the time of labour - meaning Amy had to be induced due to the risk of infection being higher.
"So it wasn’t the natural labour I would have chosen," Amy told OK.
Bonnie Mae eventually arrived on December 27, making the labour 22 hours 'from start to finish', Amy said, which also included having to have two epidurals.
Realising they had a girl, Amy says the couple burs into 'tears of joy'.
The soap stars first went public with their relationship at Christmas 2020 when they were pictured on the red carpet at the opening night of A Christmas Carol in London.
The pair met in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2019 when Amy was supporting Emmerdale co-star Kelvin Fletcher and Toby was cheering on co-star Emma Barton.
The couple found themselves speeding up their romance after country went into lockdown four months after they met.
They kept up a long-distance relationship at first before taking the plunge and moving in together.
