SOAP stars Amy Walsh and Toby-Alexander Smith have welcomed their first baby into the world.

Emmerdale actress Amy and her Eastenders star partner shared the happy news today.

They revealed Amy had given birth over the festive period, confirming the arrival to OK!.

The couple said in a joint statement: “Well…it’s been a busy week! Hope you all had a good one. HAPPY NEW YEAR from the three of us.”

Toby is Albert Square’s resident villain, Gray Atkins – having killed his wife Chantelle Gray, Tina Carter and Kush Kazemi.

Meanwhile, in the Dales, Amy’s character Tracy Metcalfe is now a mum too.

Amy revealed she was pregnant back in September, telling OK!: “We’re so excited. It feels as though the way everything happened was meant to be.

“I thought I might struggle with fertility, so for pregnancy to happen quite easily and when I wanted – I was gobsmacked.

“We feel incredibly lucky.”
