Emmerdale actor Michael Parr, 39, has become a father for the first time. The star, known for playing Ross Barton on the ITV soap, and his girlfriend Isabelle Du Plessis announced the birth of their daughter on Saturday.
Isabelle shared the news on Instagram, posting photos of Michael cradling the newborn in hospital. The couple revealed their daughter's name as Suzie Rose Parr. The baby was wrapped in a custom blanket reading 'baby Parr'.
Parr's Emmerdale co-stars were quick to offer congratulations. Bradley Riches, who plays Lewis Barton, commented 'Love you! X', while Joe Gill, who plays Finn Barton, said 'Amazing'. Shebz Miah, known for his role as Kammy Hadiq, posted dove and stars emojis.
Parr played the role of Ross Barton from 2013 to 2018 and has recently reprised the part. He previously dated co-star Isabelle Hodgins, who plays Victoria Sugden, but they split in 2019.
The couple announced they were expecting their first child in March, with Isabelle sharing a series of photos showing her baby bump. She captioned the post: 'In our Mum & Dad Era.'
