Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick announced that she is expecting her second child with wife Kate Brooks.
Michelle, who is best known for playing Vanessa Woodfield on the ITV soap, shared the 'super exiting' news to Instagram on Thursday.
The 46-year-old revealed she can “almost rest a cup of tea on my bump” as she is “20 weeks today”. It comes after Michelle and Kate, who is a producer on Emmerdale, welcomed a baby son in 2020.

Along with the pic Michelle wrote: "We are super excited about our gorgeous news! I’m 20 weeks today and can almost rest a cup of tea on my bump #bigbrother."
Their friends and colleagues rushed to congratulate the couple, with Lisa Riley, who plays Mandy Dingle, commenting: "FINALLY!!! I can tell my Dad and Brother now love to you both, you know how elated we are for you!! So much love."
While Hollyoaks actress Anna Nightingale gushing: "Waaaaaa! Best news ever so much love to you guys x." Former Corrie star Charlie Condou wrote: "Amazing!! Congratulations xxxx."
It comes after the couple said earlier this year that they would love to have another baby. Michelle and Kate married in 2019 at Elvis' Graceland estate in Memphis, and after IVF treatment, their son Teddy was born in October 2020.
Speaking to OK! The pair revealed their hopes of expanding their family, and Michelle said she would love to meet Teddy's biological dad one day, to thank him.
“When Teddy is 18 he can find out who his dad is and we’d massively back him,” says Michelle. “I’d love to meet him just to say, ‘Thank you so much for allowing us to be parents and giving us the most beautiful little boy.'"
