Jay, 31, and artist Mimi, 32, have been married for six years and loved being part of a happy family of four.

Recalling the moment it happened, Jay told OK! magazine: “Mimi called me during my lunch break on set and told me.

“I was sitting eating lunch in the sun and all of a sudden I went hot and started dripping with sweat. I was a bit shocked!

“Before that, Mimi had said she wanted to get a pregnancy test and I said, ‘A pregnancy test? That’s a lot of money that, especially with the cost of living going up.’

"Then I was in work and she decided to throw a spanner in the works over lunch!”

Their bundle of joy is due at the end of November and they have both agreed that they don't want any more kids after as "three is the magic number".

The married couple aren't the only ones excited for their arrival as their two children also cannot wait to meet their new sibling.

Mimi confessed: “They can’t wait. They’re at the age where they can really help and KaiBo is like a little second mum anyway.

“Before we found out I was pregnant they had been asking for a baby, so it’s worked out perfectly for them.

"We waited until I got to 12 weeks and then we came home from the scan holding the ultrasound picture and filmed their reaction.

"They were so excited. They always say, ‘I love you, baby’ and touch my belly. This child will be really loved.”

Earlier today Jay broke the news on Instagram.

Sharing a snap of him with Mimi and their two kids, he captioned the post: "Soon to be a family of 5 ❤️?."

Meanwhile in Emmerdale, Jay's character's life couldn't be more different.

She attended her funeral and saw another girl there that she used to work with as a prostitute called Jade.

She decided to take the young girl back home.
