Hollyoaks star Jessamy Stoddart has announced that she has given birth to a daughter. The soap actor, best known for playing Liberty Savage, and her husband Ryan O'Gorman previously welcomed a daughter named Joni Drew in January 2023.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Stoddart shared a picture of herself holding her new baby, a close-up of the baby's arm, and a picture of her husband carrying their daughter in a carrier.
While the actor has yet to share her baby’s name, she captioned the post: "She’s here. All 9 lb 6 of her. I got the VBAC water birth of my dreams, and it was EUPHORIC."

"So incredibly lucky to be growing a little brother or sister for Joni," she captioned the post.

Stoddart's exit is thought to be temporary, with the actor heading on maternity leave as her character takes a break from the village.
