Emmerdale star Danny Miller has revealed the name of his baby son and the touching meaning behind it.
The actor, who plays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap, and fiancée Steph Jones welcomed their first child into the world last month.
Danny, 30, announced their son's arrival on Instagram.
The actor posted: "I was lucky enough to find someone who shines bright enough to lead me out of the dark, but I never imagined to be lead to the brightest place imaginable."

But the new parents were yet to reveal his name, which has now been confirmed as Albert.
"I’ve loved the name from when I was a kid," Danny told OK! Magazine. "Steph’s granddad was called Albert but when we were in school I just knew him as Steph’s granddad, so when I suggested it, I didn’t know it was her granddad’s name."
While midwife Steph, also 30, added: "Danny said to me, 'I’ve got a name that I really love but I’m not sure what you’ll think about it,' and then when he said 'Albert', I said it must be a sign as that was my granddad’s name.
"My mum was really pleased as it was her dad."
"It was really emotional for her," Steph added.
The couple had been preparing to go through IVF treatment when they learned that they had a baby on the way.
Danny said last month that he and Steph, who has Polycystic ovary syndrome, feel "humbled" to become parents, adding that they know not everyone is as lucky as they've been.
The soap star discovered he was going to become a dad while filming big scenes for Emmerdale earlier this year.
He previously revealed on Loose Women that he got the news while filming the aftermath of the barn explosion which claimed the life of Paul Ashdale and saw his on-screen sister spiral back into alcoholism.
Danny is also set to spend a bit more time on-screen after being 'confirmed' for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here line up.
