This much-loved actress and expectant mum-of-one has opened up about her second pregnancy and shed some light on the impact it has had on her relationship with partner Matthew Wolfenden.
Emmerdale star, Charley Webb, who is the proud mum of five-year-old son, Buster, announced she was due to add to her brood in December this year.
27-year-old Charley, who met Buster's dad on the set of the longrunning soap, admits that she has noticed a shift in the relationship they share, saying: "This pregnancy has definitely given us an even stronger bond."
Echoing Charley's sentiments, 35-year-old Matthew said: "Having a child changes the dynamic of your relationship, but in a nice way. You have to become a team, which is a lovely thing."
Like fellow celeb couple, Wayne and Coleen Rooney, the pair told OK! magazine that they are reluctant to learnt the sex of their baby prior to its highly-anticipated arrival.
Chatting openly about the subject, Charley, who plays Debbie Dingle in the popular TV show, gave an insight into the couple's future plans, saying: "It would be great to have a boy now and then a girl in the future. That would be perfect."
Considering their son's desire for a playmate, doting mum, Charley, said: "He's so desperate for a little brother, so we're kind of hoping we get a boy. I think there's something really special about having two of the same."
Charley and Matthew, who began dating in 2008, announced their wonderful news on Twitter in recent months.
