Chris Bisson, who plays Jai Sharma on Emmerdale and previously walked the cobbles of Coronation Street, has revealed he received the best 40th birthday present ever – a baby girl.
The actor who shares two-year-old son Harry with his partner, Rowena Finn, was hoping his second child would be a girl and said the news after the scan was “the best birthday present ever”.
“For the first time I saw our baby’s face and she was sleeping with her little hand behind her head, just like Harry and I do.
“When she said, ‘You’ve got a little pink one,’ we were ecstatic.
"I’d hoped, deep down, that our second child would be a girl and my wish came true.
“I’m so excited. After Harry was born, I was, and still am, totally besotted with him; I know I’ll love my little daughter with all my heart, too.”
There appears to be a bit of a baby boom over on the set of Emmerdale, something which hasn’t been lost on the 40-year-old.
“Everyone quipped that there must be something in the water at Emmerdale because my co-stars Charley Webb and Matthew Wolfenden are also expecting their second baby around the same time as us.
“It’s certainly true that there has been a bit of a baby boom at Emmerdale recently.”
Jai, Rowena and son, Harry announced their pregnancy news back in June with a sweet YouTube announcement.
