Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden have named their baby boy Ace.
The ‘Emmerdale’ pair welcomed their new arrival into the world late last month, and the married couple – who play Debbie Dingle and David Metcalfe in the ITV soap – have confirmed the sex and moniker of their newborn.
But the couple – who also have kids Buster, nine, and three-year-old Bowie – had a scare when Ace wasn’t breathing when he first came into the world.
Charley, 31, said: "The umbilical cord was wrapped around Ace’s neck when he was born. It came off and he was passed to me but I could tell something was wrong.
"Ace wasn’t breathing at first – so the midwife had to press the panic button."
Matthew added: "She said he’d cough and splutter, but he didn’t, so she had Ace on his front and was rubbing his back."
The 39-year-old star admits it felt "like a lifetime" when the pair were waiting for Ace to start breathing even though it was "probably just seconds", and he nearly vomited afterwards.
He said: "After I knew Ace was okay and breathing, I nearly threw up from the panic. I’d been so worried in those moments."
Charley added to OK! magazine: "I felt weirdly calm as I’d only just pushed him out and was a bit zoned out from the gas and air, although I was together enough to see that he wasn’t breathing."
The pair took to Twitter late last month to confirm they had welcomed their third child, and had nicknamed the little one "Baby Wolf".
Charley wrote on Twitter: "BaByWoLf#3 has joined the crazy gang. We’re in a bubble of newborn’ness heaven (sic)"
Last week, she was struggling with "weird" hair since giving birth.
She asked on her Instagram Story: "Anyone else’s hair gone weird after having a bambino?
"Every time I was it it’s greasy. Driving me mad.
"Anything I can use to help it?
"When you’ve actually got time to wash your hair with 3 kids and then it looks like s**t. Worst."
