Congratulations to Emmerdale's Charley Webb, who has welcomed her second child with partner and co-star Matthew Wolfenden.
The actress confirmed the news in a Twitter post, writing: "Happy new year everyone. Excited to head into 2016 as a family of 4."
The baby was born on December 19, although the newborn's gender has yet to be confirmed.
The pair are already proud parents to son Buster.
The actress spoke about taking maternity leave from the show earlier this year, saying that she wanted a "quiet exit".
Webb stars in Emmerdale as Debbie Dingle, while Wolfenden plays David Metcalfe.
Congratulations to them :)
Emmerdale star Chris Bisson has discussed the drama surrounding the birth of his baby girl last month, likening it to 'a scene from a film'.
The actor, who plays Jai Sharma in the ITV soap, became a father for the second time towards the end of 2015 when his partner Rowena Finn gave birth to a daughter.
However, the pair were left fearing that Ella Rose was going to be born in the car as they made a very dramatic dash to hospital.
Opening up about the birth to Hello! magazine, Bisson said: "Just like a scene from a film, there was this cinematic race to the hospital.
"She was born seven minutes later (after our arrival), after one puff of gas and air."
Bisson also said that having children has made certain Emmerdale storylines more 'challenging' to play, admitting that he has been filming some harrowing scenes recently.
Viewers know that Jai's ex-partner Megan is currently expecting his baby but he only became aware of this before Christmas, believing she'd had an abortion.
He said: "I enjoy playing a baddie but since becoming a father I find some baby-related storylines challenging.
"When Harry was born, the plot revolved around a baby in intensive care. I've been filming another harrowing story that hasn't been revealed yet. It makes me realise how lucky I am."
Ross Barton has always liked a challenge, and it seems Emmerdale star Michael Parr does too, as he is preparing to climb Mount Everest.
The actor revealed the news on ITV's Lorraine this morning (January 18) with his co-star Gemma Atkinson, who plays Carly Hope.
Speaking about his upcoming challenge, Parr said: "I am going to be climbing Mount Everest for the Steve Prescott foundation which is from my hometown.
"We are just going to be trying to raise as much money as possible by climbing one of the biggest mountains in the world.
"It's going to be hard work but luckily two of my best friends are doing it with me so they can drag me up!"
Parr also joked about his outfit ahead of the National Television Awards this week. He previously received flak after turning up to the Inside Soap Awards in rather casual attire.
When Lorraine Kelly asked him if he would be dressing up this time, he light-heartedly said: "I knew that was going to come up. How dare you!", before joking that he might wear a dress and heels.
We'll be keeping our eyes peeled...
It was a victorious night for Emmerdale at Wednesday's Broadcast Awards, as the ITV serial beat EastEnders and Coronation Street to win Best Soap.

Casualty, Holby City and Hollyoaks were also shortlisted for the prize, but it was Emmerdale's "top form" that took it home.
Judges deemed that the big stunt episodes, including the helicopter crash submitted for the awards, were not just ratings-grabbers but also "the culmination of careful plotting and character development".
One panellist said that Ross's fake farewell was "a smart way to keep things interesting and alive".
Another simply concluded: "It looks like the most professional of the soaps at the moment. It's doing everything it can to get it right."
Emmerdale reacted to the win with a sweet "Woohoo!" on Twitter.
