A Heartwarming Surprise for Fans

Emmerdale’s Amy Walsh has thrilled fans by revealing she is expecting her second child. The announcement came through a touching Instagram post that perfectly captured the joy and excitement of the moment. Amy, married to former EastEnders actor Toby-Alexander Smith, shared the news in a sweet black-and-white video set to Nick Drake’s classic, Northern Sky.

In the video, Amy can be heard telling her daughter, Bonnie-Mae: “Mummy and daddy have got a special secret to tell you. Mummy has got a baby in her tummy. A baby sister or brother for you.” The couple and their daughter then placed their hands over a scan of the baby, making the announcement even more personal and intimate.

The post’s caption read simply: “Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026.” Fans quickly flooded the comments section with congratulations and love.

Friends, Family, and Co-Stars Celebrate

Amy and Toby’s announcement drew responses from friends, family, and soap colleagues alike. Emmerdale’s Michelle Hardwick commented: “So exciting,” while Samantha Giles added: “So excited the news is finally out.” Former EastEnders actor Danny Walters chimed in with: “Great news,” and Amy’s sister, Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh, shared five crying-face emojis, expressing her heartfelt excitement.

The couple, who first welcomed Bonnie-Mae in December 2021 after a dramatic pregnancy and birth, are now preparing to expand their family once again. Fans remember Amy’s previous experience vividly, including her 20-hour labor following a Boxing Day waters break.

Reflecting on Past Joys and Challenges

Speaking to OK! Magazine about her first birth, Amy described the experience in candid detail. She recalled having an epidural due to intense pain and using gas and air to cope, laughing through the process. She even joked about feeling “drunk” and craving a cocktail — a memory that showcased her humor and resilience.

Amy described their wedding day as “honestly the most perfect day,” saying it exceeded all expectations. “I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I’m just in pure bliss,” she added.
