Emmerdale actor Adam Thomas has another reason to smile this festive season, as he reveals some exciting news - his wife Caroline Daly is having another baby!
The 29-year-old actor - who already has son Teddy James, three, with his dancer wife - revealed the news they were expanding their brood in OK! magazine today, posing in a gorgeous maternity photoshoot together.
Adam's gorgeous wife Caroline revealed to the publication she first had an inkling she was pregnant after feeling abnormally tired - like she did during her first pregnancy - and that after taking a positive pregnancy test she have it to her young son to hand to his father.

Adam said: "It took me totally by surprise, I have to say, I lost my head a little bit over it. I immediately cracked open the gin!"
The actor - who plays Adam Barton in the ITV soap - said the two had wanted another baby but weren't planning on it happening so quickly after tying the knot, revealing they conceived on their wedding night.
The two married in September in a star-studded wedding in Gary Barlow's old home Delamere Manor, in Cheshire.

While Caroline's first pregnancy was a proverbial walk in the park, this time around she admitted she's been so sick she was even hospitalised and put on a drip, failing to keep down any food or liquid in the earlier stages and quickly losing weight.
Telling the publication she lost a stone, Adam added: "Caroline's wedding ring fell of because she got so thin, it was so scary. I felt helpless."

Still filming his final scenes for Emmerdale at the time, show bosses luckily let him have some time off so he could look after Teddy while Caroline made sure she got enough rest.
Now, the dancer is determined to get back on the dance floor, saying she's got the doctor's OK to jive for "as long as she feels able to".
She also admits while Teddy says he wants a brother, the young tot doesn't quite understand what's going on, with Adam adding he wanted another son, too, but now with Teddy "he's not fussed either way".

The two will reveal the gender on Christmas Day, having the nurse put the details into a sealed envelope for the couple to have a balloon made with either pink or blue dots that they'll pop with family and friends.
Adam says: "I've not cried throughout the whole pregnancy but if I find out we're having a girl I probably will cry.
"I'm convinced we're having another boy so it'll be quite overwhelming if I find out we're having a daughter.
"Being a dad to a girl would be a lovely experience."
However, if it's another boy, Adam says he loves the name Paddington - keeping with the apparent 'bear theme' for their children's names.

Adam announced in June that he would finish up with Emmerdale in the new year , after eight years with the soap, after persistent rumours surrounded his future on the show.
He said: "I've had an amazing eight years working on Emmerdale and I've loved every minute of it.
"It was a really tough decision to take to leave but I felt that now is the time to move on and challenge myself with some new roles."
...beginning with fatherhood round two!
