Her followers rushed to congratulate her, with one writing: “Another lucky baby to have you as their mama.”

While a third commented: “Ahh the best news!! So happy for you all.”

Sophie welcomed her first child – Marli Ocean Waters – in August 2021.

Sophie got the role of Holly Barton on Emmerdale as a teenager and was on the soap from 2009 to 2012.

She then came back to Emmerdale briefly in 2016, before leaving again the same year.

She previously said she felt like a “failure” after having to take a cafe job while looking for acting work.

The actress has been very open about the struggles of being working class while trying to find a job in acting.
