Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas is set to become a father again.
The 29-year-old actor – who is known for playing farm boy Adam Barton in the long-running soap – and his wife Caroline Daly have announced they’re expecting their second child together after conceiving on their wedding day in August.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Caroline said: "I’d been feeling really tired and then suddenly it hit me, that was exactly how I felt when I was pregnant with Teddy.
"My mum went out and got a test and I left Adam downstairs while I took it. After I realised it was positive, I gave it to Teddy and told him to give it to Adam. I downloaded a pregnancy app and worked out that we got pregnant on our wedding day."
The couple are over the moon with their baby news but have admitted they weren’t planning to start trying for another little one until next year.
And, although they don’t mind what sex the baby is, Adam is hoping it’s a little girl because they want their three-year-old son Teddy to have a sister.
Adam explained: "I’ve not cried throughout the pregnancy but if I find out we’re having a girl, I will probably cry. I’m convinced we’re having another boy so it’ll be quite overwhelming if I find out we’re having a daughter. I see the way Ryan [his brother] is with his daughter Scarlett and it’s a totally different relationship to the one I have with Teddy. Being a dad to a girl would be a lovely experience."
And Adam has already picked out a name if it’s a little boy – but Caroline isn’t sold.
He said: "If it’s a boy, I like the name Paddington. Teddy likes the name too."
Caroline added: "I’m not sure about that, although we could call him Paddy for short, which goes well with Teddy. I teach a lot of kids so its hard to find a name I don’t already associate with one of our students."
