Hollyoaks' Nadine Mulkerrin gives birth to second baby with co-star days after soap exit

Hollyoaks beauty Nadine Mulkerrin has welcomed her second child with her fellow Channel 4 co-star and fiancé Rory Douglas-Speed.

The actress, who played Cleo McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, confirmed the birth of her second child in a gushing post on social media.

The 28-year-old, who is already a proud mum to son Reggie, confirmed that she and Rory have welcomed another baby boy into their family.

Nadine, who exited Hollyoaks only a few days before giving birth to her second son, revealed that she's called her newborn baby, Dougie James Speed.

The proud mum-of-two shared an adorable update with her adoring fans as she posted a snap of of her firstborn Reggie, holding his baby brother on the sofa after mum and baby arrived home from hospital.

Alongside the snap, Nadine penned: "Reggie would like to introduce you all to his new little brother Dougie James Speed.

"8.1lbs, 24/05/2022. He's our chilled, fuzzy little old man that's completed our family. That'll be me now, a life of dinosaurs, cars and willies flying around the gaff. Wish me luck and pass this mamma a champagne."

Nadine appeared to confirm that she and Rory have no plans of adding to their brood after the arrival of their second son when she penned, 'that'll be me now'.

Happy couple Nadine and Rory waited until the birth of their baby to discover their gender.

Unlike other celebrities who throw epic gender reveal parties, the proud parents wanted to keep their baby's sex a surprise until the very last minute.

The birth of their second son comes just days after Nadine announced that she left the beloved Cheshire-based soap for good.

Nadine appeared on Hollyoaks for a duration of seven years.

The talented actress first joined the cast back in 2015.

She then went on to act out some of the most emotionally driven storylines ever played out on the soap including her story surrounding anorexia in the lead up to her wedding day with her onscreen partner Joel Dexter.

Nadine is now hoping to focus on her family in the meantime until she enters the world of acting again.
