Daisy played Kim Butterfield on Hollyoaks until 2018, while her fiancé Luke played Jesse Donovan in the soap until 2020.

Luke also took to Instagram to reveal his son was born earlier this week, sharing a snap of the baby's tiny foot.

He wrote: "Asa Sean Wood-Mehdizadeh was born on Tuesday 28th September at 9:50am - the same date as my Grandad, who died in the same month Asa was conceived.

"The song playing on our speaker when he was born was ‘Back to Life’ by Soul II Soul, which was completely random as Spotify had started to shuffle songs similar to last played.”

Going on to explain the meaning behind his son’s name, Luke continued: “Asa means ‘healer’ in Hebrew and I feel like he has already brought so much healing to me and my family.

“I have the deepest love for @daisy_wood_davis she channelled the strength and energy of millions of women before her - truly incredible. We are parents.”
