Hollyoaks star Malique Thompson-Dwyer has revealed he is expecting a child with his mystery girlfriend.
The 24-year-old actor – who plays the role of Prince McQueen in the Channel 4 soap – shared the exciting news with his loyal legion of fans on Instagram.
In his post, the doting dad – who is also a father to a five-year-old daughter Alexis – shared a snap of himself dressed in a camel T-shirt and basketball shorts which he teamed with a pair of black and white Nike trainers.

While he proudly beamed to the camera, his mystery partner sat on his lap as she casually covered her face with her hand as she pulled her luscious long hair out of her eyes.
In the sun-drenched snap, the brunette beauty sported a pale green mini dress which hugged her blossoming bump perfectly which she teamed with a pair of silver beaded sliders.
He sweetly captioned the joyous post: “Ain’t no one ever loved me like you love me that’s why I’ve got you for life. You’re gonna be the best mum.”
The star was soon flooded with congratulatory messages and well wishes form his adoring fans and famous friends online.
Fellow Hollyoaks star Owen Warner wrote: “Lucky baby, got two quality parents.”
Jennifer Metcalfe – who plays the role of Mercedes McQueen – added: “Sooooo much beauty” while Chelsee Healey chimed in with: “Baby mummy.”
Malique is also dad to another daughter who he welcomed with his previous partner back in 2017.
After the TV star welcomed his daughter, the former I’m A Celeb star admitted his life was turned upside down as he adjusted to fatherhood.
Malique shared a lengthy post on Instagram later that year which read: “I’m not going to lie, 2017 broke me, matured me, whooped my ass, humbled me, blessed me, made me smarter and wiser.
“It showed me snakes are everywhere & family & friends are just titles if the love isn’t real.
“So basically 2017 was the best worst 2024 of my entire life. Here’s to 2018.”
Meanwhile the TV hunk returned to Hollyoaks last year after previously quitting the long-standing show in order to pursue a career in reality TV.
Following a two year break from the soap, he reprised his character of Prince McQueen where he confessed that he was initially nervous about returning to the set of Hollyoaks.
He explained: “You know what, I was bricking it coming back, just because I’ve been away for so long.
