Emmerdale star Danny Miller has opened up about expecting his third child.

The Aaron Dingle actor and his wife Steph Jones announced last month that baby number three is on the way.

Now in a new interview with The Mirror, Danny said that the couple are very much looking forward to having another newborn, although they feel like it’ll be the final time they do.

“Three is definitely the magic number – and probably the last one!” he said. “My job is very demanding, and we’re a few hours away from family, so it’s not easy, but we’re excited. We’ve got two beautiful children already. It just feels like we’re completing the family.”

He explained that his wife Steph is “so supportive” or him being away for work and doing such long hours at Emmerdale, but he does feel a bit bad about it.

“Any parent would feel that guilt. You miss moments,” he said. “But thanks to camera phones and videos, you still get to see a lot. When I’m home, it’s about being truly present – work can wait until tomorrow. Family is always the priority.”

He also said that “we’ve never had three children before, so it’s definitely a bit unknown! We know it’ll be hard with two to look after and a newborn. You just have to throw yourself into it.”

He also said that the couple won’t find out if they are having a boy or a girl until the actual birth, which is how they did it the first two times.

“We never actually find out. We like it to be a surprise,” he explained. “There aren’t many surprises left in life – this is the best kind of natural surprise you can get.”
