She thanked the pair for “letting her capture their blessed event” in an Instagram story.

Actor Stevie – who plays Isaac Baptiste in the BBC soap – has seemingly filmed his final scenes already.

His character Isaac suffers from schizophrenia and had an episode last year after he stopped taking his medication.

He is currently in a relationship with Lola Pearce and has regularly clashed with the father of her daughter Lexi, Ben Mitchell.

The news comes after Keegan Baker actor Zack Morris decided to leave the soap after five years.

He announced his exit with a touching statement paying tribute to the show for all it taught him.

Speaking about his decision to leave, Zack said: “After five beautiful years on this incredible show, I have made the tough decision to leave Walford and give Keegan Butcher-Baker some well-earned rest. 

“This show has quite frankly changed my life for the better. It will always hold a real loving place in my heart. 

“The cast and crew of this show deserve every accolade that comes their way. 

“The hard work, love and dedication that goes into making four episodes a week is immense and it’s not to be taken lightly.
