Congratulations are in order for real-life Hollyoaks couple Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas-Speed, who have announced they are expecting a baby.
The pair revealed the happy news ahead of the British Soap Awards this evening (June 1) on their respective Instagrams.
"That's us three ready for the @thebritishsoapawards," the Cleo McQueen actress captioned a picture of her clearly-pregnant self and her fiancée.
The Joel Dexter actor also shared the same picture, writing: "That's us THREE ready for the @thebritishsoapawards".
The couple have since received a raft of congratulations on social media, including from former Hollyoaks star Mandip Gill, who posted a number of heart emojis.
Nadine and Rory announced their engagement at the end of last year just before Christmas, Rory writing on his Instagram at the time: "She said yes".

Earlier this week, Rory expressed a desire to have more scenes with his fiancée, explaining: "When we first started seeing each other, people would ask if we found it difficult being around each other all the time. But we just buzz off one another at work!
"It's strange having different schedules now, although it's good to get home and ask about Nadine's day like a normal couple! I do miss it a bit, though, I won't lie. She's a star."
He also gave us an update on their wedding plans, admitting: "I actually keep forgetting about it until people stop me to say congratulations.
"We don't have any plans yet – we're just enjoying the romance of it all. No stress or panic, although I think I have the wedding all planned out in my head."
