Hollyoaks favourite Jonny Clarke has become a father for the first time, as he and his wife, former soap actress Jessica Ellis, welcome a beautiful baby boy into the world.
The couple, who met on the set of the popular Channel 4 soap, announced their joyful news with a series of adorable posts on social media, sending fans into a frenzy of congratulations.
Clarke, best known for playing bad boy Freddie Roscoe on the long-running show, shared the first glimpse of his newborn son alongside his beaming wife. The actor confirmed the birth with a simple yet emotional caption that read: "And then there were three. Our beautiful boy is here."
His wife Jessica Ellis, who previously starred in Doctors and EastEnders, also posted a touching tribute, expressing her overwhelming love for their new arrival and praising her partner.
A Soap Opera Love Story

Former Hollyoaks co-stars and other soap personalities flooded the comments section with messages of support, highlighting the close-knit nature of the acting community.
As Clarke and Ellis settle into their new roles as parents, fans eagerly await more updates and potential glimpses of the newest addition to their soap opera dynasty.
