"Very lucky," Simon added.

Simon, who plays Steve McDonald in the ITV soap, admitted that they'd been trying for another baby, but the news was still unexpected.

He said: "We had been for a while. Nothing was happening, then it sort of came out of the blue.

"We've already been there twice before so we sort of knew the signals. The test was just confirming what we already knew."

Emma and Simon have been married since 2010, and are parents to Alfie, seven, and six-year-old Harry.
