Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher is going to become a dad for the first time.

The actor, who plays Andy Sugden in the ITV soap, is expecting a baby with his new wife Eliza Marsland.

Marsland has been showing off her growing baby bump in a series of Instagram pictures, with a recent one captioned: "Great day at Chester Races, even got a win in 🏆🐴 treating the bump to some vip action@kelvin_fletcher."

The pair married in a secret ceremony last December, following nine years of dating. They had announced their engagement a year before.

Fletcher has played Andy since 1996.
