EX-HOLLYOAKS stars Daisy Wood-Davis and Luke Jerdy have announced they’re expecting their first child together.
Daisy, who played Kim Butterfield on the soap from 2014-2018, is 19 weeks pregnant and in the announcement photographs shared that she was due in October.
The happy couple, who have been engaged since 2019, shared loved-up photos of them holding a baby scan on Instagram.
“We have been keeping the biggest (smallest) secret of our lives!” wrote Daisy.
“We couldn’t let Covid get in the way of any more of our plans so instead of saying ‘I do’ this year, we’ve been growing and preparing for our precious baby son or daughter (still can’t believe those words are coming out of my mouth!)
“Cannot wait to tell you all more about our journey so far.”
Luke, who played Jesse Donovan from 2016 to 2020, added: “Just call us Mum and Dad.”
The couple first met on the set of the soap, where both were tasked with a series of gritty and hard-hitting storylines.
Luke popped the question to her during a trip to Greece.
Kim was famously kidnapped by Ryan Knight and locked in the derelict Hollyoaks High for months where she survived on tinned beans and by talking to a poster of Rick Astley.
She left Chester after going on the run for Glenn Donovan’s murder, before it was revealed that Glenn was killed by Breda McQueen.
Meanwhile, Jesse met a tragic end and was killed off in 2020, just hours after his wedding to Courtney.
Collapsing after drinking too much, his body was found hours later in the street.
