HAYLEY Tamaddon has revealed that she took 18 pregnancy tests after conceiving her miracle baby boy.
The 42-year-old star was in a state of disbelief after spending years thinking that she was unable to have a child.
The former Emmerdale and Coronation Street actress confessed that she has “never been happier” as she and her fiance, estate agent Adrian, prepare to welcome their little boy in October.
Hayley shared: “I must have taken 18 tests – 10 after my first one and then one each day throughout the week.
“I spent a fortune, we couldn’t believe it.”
She added to Closer magazine: “For so long I thought I couldn’t have children, it’s just never happened.
“Now it has everything feels natural and so right.”
Hayley explained that during her six-year relationship with comic Marcus Brigstocke she expected children would follow naturally.
Towards the end of their romance, the star started having medical tests to find out if there was anything physically wrong with her, but when her relationship broke down she stopped looking into it.
She said: “When I reached 40 I was single and thought ‘well, it’s never going to happen now’.

“I threw myself into my career and turned my focus to work and was happy.”
In fact, Hayley even warned her partner that she might not be able to have children when they first started dating, and the pair were left heartbroken when she suffered a miscarriage in January.
However, determined to see the bright side Hayley admitted that she was also “relieved” to know that she was able to conceive a child at all, and she ended up falling pregnant again within two weeks.
The star announced her pregnancy in April and three weeks later Adrian proposed during a romantic holiday to Crete.
