Rachel’s news comes just weeks after her friend and Hollyoaks co-star Jennifer Metcalfe introduced her newborn son to the world.

 

The 34-year-old and her partner, former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, posed for an exclusive photo shoot for OK! magazine – with baby son Daye Colmic the star of the show.

 

We bet Jennifer and Rachel have plenty of mummy dates scheduled into the diaries!

 

Congratulations to Rachel and Jason on their news – we’re thrilled for them!
