EastEnders and Emmerdale co-stars were also delighted for the pair, with Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa in the Dales, writing: "Gorgeous couple."
Danielle Harold who plays Lola on Albert Square added: "Congratulations you guys xx." Tony Clay, who plays Callum in EastEnders, commented: "Love this! Congrats mate!! x"
Earlier this year, Amy and Toby welcomed a baby daughter who they named Bonnie Mae. At the time of her birth, Amy explained why they chose that particular name, saying: "Whenever we hypothetically talked about our family, we always said 'our little Bonnie'. When she came, she couldn’t have been more of a Bonnie."
Toby revealed that his daughter was not the first Bonnie in the family, joking: "My parents had two King Charles spaniels and one was called Bonnie – but that had no part in it!"
Amy added: "Her middle name is Mae. We wanted something with one syllable that went with her first name and surname, Smith."
