Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter has given birth to twin girls.
The actress, who also has an 11-year-old daughter called Lola with her partner Rudi Coleano, made the happy announcement back in October last year that she would be adding to the family.
An Emmerdale spokesperson said: "Lucy Pargeter and Rudi Coleano are delighted to announce the birth of their twin girls who were born on Thursday April 13.
"All are happy and healthy and Lola is delighted to have finally become a big sister."
The 40-year-old has spoken previously about her struggles to conceive, saying: "We went through IVF, which failed last year, so we are very cautious, but we're having regular checks with the fertility clinic and the midwives, everyone has been brilliant.
"We've been trying for a baby for 11 years and now we're expecting twins!"
