Amy and Toby-Alexander, 34, are already parents to their daughter Bonnie, who they welcomed in 2022.

Amy revealed the news of her second pregnancy on Instagram in September, with a video that saw Toby, Amy and Bonnie removing their hands from a frame to reveal a baby scan photo.

The audio of the clip was of Amy announcing to Bonnie that she's going to soon have a little brother or sister.

Amy penned alongside the post: 'Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026.'

Amy and Toby-Alexander tied the knot after three years together in an idyllic ceremony at the Talici Hill Rustic Villa in Montenegro in 2023.

Amy met EastEnders star Toby-Alexander, 34, in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 and the pair struck up a relationship a year later.

Two years later, Amy welcomed a beautiful daughter Bonnie Mae with him.

The pair revealed to OK! after the big day: 'It was honestly the most perfect day. It surpassed all my expectations and more. I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I'm just in pure bliss.'

Amy also revealed the incredible present she received from her sister - their grandmother's ring she had inherited and the loan of a pair of £1,500 Chanel earrings to act as her 'something borrowed' on the big day.

In stunning pictures featured in the magazine, Amy showed off the stunning family heirloom and also wore a pair of pearl earrings by the designer, which market pre-owned for around £1.5k. 

Speaking about the gifts, she said: 'I hadn't thought about the 'something old, new, borrowed and blue', but luckily my bridesmaids had...

'My sister Kimberley gave me the ring she inherited from my grandma. She wears it every day and it epitomises my grandma. I wore it on my little finger so I had my grandma and grandad with me on the day, which was amazing.'
