“I’m so pleased to tell you all… I’m expecting my first child with my wonderful boyfriend Adrian!!

“I’ve always wanted to be a mum and didn’t think I could have children. And now, at the ripe old age of 42 - I’M PREGNANT! We couldn’t be happier. ”

Hayley - who played Del Dingle in Emmerdale for two years - has previously spoken out about her desire to have children, despite being told she could be infertile.

While dating actor and comedian Marcus Brigstocke in 2014, she told The Mirror: "My body feels 37 but I still feel 21. I sometimes forget that I'm going to be 40. It would be lovely to have kids in the future but for now my main ­concentration is my work."

Confessing she’s “not scared of nappies or screaming babies”, Hayley added: "Not many of my friends have settled down either. I'm a workaholic. It's always work, work, work, I can't switch it off."
