Hollyoaks beauty Ali Bastian has announced that she is expecting baby number two.

The actress - who is best known for playing Becca Dean in the Channel 4 soap - confirmed her happy news to OK! magazine.

Ali, 40, and her actor husband David O'Mahony are already parents to two-year-old daughter Isla Rose.

She regularly shares snaps of the toddler on Instagram and opens up to her fans about motherhood.

A few months ago she shared her thoughts in a candid post about breastfeeding.

She wrote: "Breastfeeding a toddler - 'You're STILL feeding a two year old!?' Heard that one once or twice!

"Lovely @tandbelle recently asked me how I find breastfeeding a toddler. I didn't know how to reply. Im not sure Ive ever felt as ambivalent about anything! I love it, Im exhausted and depleted by it.

"At times breastfeeding feels like the most precious moments of peace and connection at other times I feel adverse to it, almost enraged by how much my own needs take a back seat at 4am whilst being simultaneously completely attached to it."

Ali said that she was planning to see a consultant to try and "unpack" some of her feelings around it and decide whether she was ready to wrap it up.

"What I do know is when I do I will miss it so, so much and also - I will find other ways to give her comfort," she said.

"I hope my skin will always feel like home to her."

Ali and actor David tied the knot in February 2019.
