Emmerdale's Debbie Dingle and David Metcalfe may not have much to do with each other in the soap, but things are very different off-screen for actors Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden.
The real-life couple, who married last year, already have two young sons together, Buster and Bowie, and are now expecting their third child.
The pair have revealed to OK! magazine that they can't wait for their family to become a "gang" and shared the adorable news that their sons can't wait to meet their new sibling.
"We told the boys on Christmas Day when Charley was 11 weeks pregnant," Matthew said. "They had some joint presents and the final one was a teddy bear with a note attached which read: 'Please give this to your baby brother or sister when they arrive in July, love Santa'".
Charley revealed that she's keen to keep adding to her growing family, saying: "I always thought I'd have three boys and a girl, in that order. That's my instinct but who knows!"
"We've always wanted a big family... We're looking forward to the chaos another child will bring," Matthew added.
What to Read Next
The couple's happy family life is a world away from the chaos of Emmerdale, with Matthew's character David set to have his life shattered when he eventually discovers his girlfriend Maya Stepney's abusive relationship with his adoptive teenage son Jacob Gallagher.
"At the moment for me it's not too difficult as David doesn't have a clue that it's going on behind his back," Matthew said.
"I've just read some scripts of when things take a turn for the worst and that will all be quite emotional.
"The storyline's set to get darker which will be hard to play, particularly because I'm a dad."
