Congratulations are in order for The Inbetweeners stars Joe Thomas and Hannah Tointon, who have welcomed a baby together.
The happy news was revealed by Hannah's sister Kara, who famously starred in EastEnders, in a new podcast conversation.
"My sister's just had her first," he told the Mum's the Word! podcast with Ashley James, confirming that they had a girl.

"What's funny about it is that on Joe's side there's only boys, even during the scan they accidentally said 'he' at one point," she said. "So they'd just gone along thinking it's a boy.
"Everyone who said the shape game, 'Oh you're having a boy'… so when they finally had a girl, it was really brilliant, but it just knocked them for six. So they hadn't even decided on a girl's name… They left it as a surprise."
Joe and Hannah have been dating since their time on the show, and back in 2018 it emerged that the couple were engaged.
Speaking previously about the relationship, he told Cosmopolitan: "I always try to impress my girlfriend Hannah by any means I can and I'm very protective about her. I think I am romantic. I've tended to have some serious, long-time monogamous relationships."
Meanwhile, a few years ago Thomas opened up about why he thought the US version of The Inbetweeners failed, musing: "It was very hard because they couldn't really swear very much because it was on network TV.
"And then you couldn't show them drinking and stuff and... that's kind of the whole show. Just do the credits then – the beginning credits and the end credits. Just film the outside of a school, and that's it. Just draw people's attention to the various educational opportunities available to them."
