Hollyoaks star Jessamy Stoddart and husband Ryan O’Gorman are expecting their first child together.

The actress, who plays Liberty Savage on the Channel 4 soap, shared the news on Instagram this week telling followers that her "little rainbow" is due in December.

She wrote alongside a mirror selfie that showed her cradling her exposed pregnancy bump: "Baby O’G, you are so loved already. Our little rainbow, due December 2022.

"Getting to this point has been a journey for us – the road to parenthood often is, so to anyone reading this heavy hearted on their own baby journey, I see you and I feel you."

The 29-year-old's colleagues and pals were quick to share their well-wishes, with Hollyoaks’ official social media account writing: "Congratulations! Just so exciting!"

Her co-star Jessica Fox, added: "The most beautiful news."

Nikki Sanderson who plays Maxine Minniver in the long-running soap, left three heart emojis, while former Hollyoaks actor Rishi Nair – who played Sami Maalik – commented: "Congratulations to you both!!!"

The actress and husband married last November after a year-long engagement. After the nuptials she wrote on social media: "It’s cliche but yesterday was without a doubt the best day of my life.

"So overwhelmed with love & happiness. We are so lucky to have been able to share our day with the most outstanding humans on the planet. The most outstanding of them all is now my bloomin HUSBAND!!!! Let the wedding spam commence…"

Stoddart has played Liberty on Hollyoaks for four years and features in some intense scenes, as her character's life is put in danger, next week.
