Carly and Danny started dating in 2011 and tied the knot six years later. The duo are former Hollyoaks actors, with Danny playing Mark Savage in the soap until 2015 and Carley portraying Steph Cunningham until 2011. The pair have unsurprisingly been inundated with messages from their former co-stars since sharing the baby announcement.

Nikki Sanderson, who plays Maxine Minniver in Hollyoaks, wrote: “Congratulations.” Lucy-Jo Hudson, who played Donna-Marie Queen in the Channel 4 soap, added: “ow did I not know? Ahhh congratulations babe xxx”. Jessica Fox, best known for playing Nancy Osborne added: “Beautiful news!! Congratulations.”
Last year, Carly revealed how her attitude had changed towards her racy Hollyoaks spreads since becoming a mother. She told The Sun at the time: “Now I’m a mum, I don’t know about getting any kit off. just think your attitude changes when you are older — and certainly when you’re a mum. I’m all about body confidence though, and women feeling great.”

She continued: “It was liberating as a woman of 20 or so to feel confident. I’ve got those pictures to look back on and enjoy. It was always something I did back then knowing that, hopefully one day, I’d be an old granny and would say, ‘Oh, look at me back then’.
The mother of one previously candidly discussed how she struggled with “mum guilt” while being away from her baby daughter for Dancing on Ice. The actress didn’t think she could appear on the skating show because it would mean more time apart from her.
However despite finding it hard, Carley revealed she was able to “‘figure it out” with the support of Danny and her family and friends. She said: “I feel awful when I’m not with her. Mum guilt is real – it’s part of my DNA now. I remember my first day back to work, when Skye had a rash. I got off the Tube and I could have gone left to work or right to go home, and I had to ring my mum and say: ‘Please tell me what to do.’ It was horrible. But I knew Skye was with my mother-in-law, who is a nurse, so she could not have been in better hands.”
