Emmerdale stars rushed to the comments section to congratulate their co-star Mike and Isabelle.

Steph Miligan actress Georgia Jay wrote: “Beautiful girl! Beautiful family!! So so many congratulations!”.

Bradley Riches, who play’s Ross’ on-screen brother Lewis Barton, exclaimed: “Love you! X.”

While April Windsor star, Amelia Flanagan, added a string of love heart emojis.

Mike initially played the role of Ross from 2013 until his departure in late 2018.

Last year, the actor announced he would be returning to screens and reprised his role as Ross during a bare-knuckle fighting ring against Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle).

Mike and Isabelle delighted fans when they announced in May that they were expecting a baby later in the year.

The happy couple sweetly shared a number of snaps of themselves looking happy on a beach. They wrote a message in the sand revealing they were to become parents, writing: “MJP IDP Soon 2 B 3.”

Sharing the images at the time, the couple wrote in a joint caption: “In our Mum & Dad Era” alongside a baby chicken emoji and a chick in an egg emoji.
