EastEnders star Danny-Boy Hatchard and ‘superfan’ fiancée expecting baby together – a month after getting engaged
EASTENDERS star Danny-Boy Hatchard and his ‘superfan’ fiancée are expecting their first baby together!
Soap hunk Danny-Boy Hatchard, who played the role of Lee Carter in the hit BBC programme, only got engaged to long time partner Kerry Scouler last month – and now they are expectant parents.
The couple revealed the happy news of their pregnancy on Instagram today (Friday, November 6), with the tot due in just two months time.
Sharing a photo booth strip of them holding their scan photos, Kerry penned in the caption of the post: “And somewhere along the way, our love became someone’s whole life.
“Baby girl coming January ‘27.”
Fans and loved ones of the couple rushed to the comment section to congratulate them on their joyous news.
One person penned: “Aww congrats amazing news.”
“This is amazing news!!!!! Congratulations xxxxx,” said a second.
While a third wrote: “Stop it noooo way! Ahhh congratulations my lovelies, this is the best news.”
And a fourth said: “This is amazing news. Congratulations guys.”
Danny asked Kerry to marry him during a break to Amsterdam, with him getting down on one knee by a river just last month.
The beaming bride-to-be shared a series snaps of her and her new fiancée as they enjoyed a cosy sunset boat canal cruise.
In one snap, the couple can be seen smiling for the camera as they enjoy a glass of champagne while Kerry holds up her hand to show off her sparkling ring.
In the caption, Kerry penned: “You & me forever? Don’t mind if ‘I do’.”
Danny-Boy’s exciting life milestones come after he reprised his role of Lee Carter in EastEnders more than nine years after he quit as a regular cast member.
He previously made two brief cameos since quitting but recently returned for a longer stint as part of on screen mum Kellie Bright‘s exit as Linda Carter.
