Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas and wife Caroline reveal they’re pregnant with their second child and the very unusual name they have planned
The pair, already parents to son Teddy, 3, have decided against learning the sex of their child until Christmas Day
EMMERDALE'S Adam Thomas has revealed his wife Caroline is pregnant with their second child.
And the actor doesn't know the sex of his unborn baby but has already chosen a VERY unusual name should the tot be a boy - and the quirky moniker is a perfect fit to that of eldest son Teddy.
The 29-year-old and wife Caroline Daly are said to have decided against learning the sex of their baby until Christmas Day.
The pair reveal they conceived their second baby on their wedding night - and plan to find out the sex at Christmas. On December 25, the 27-year-old mum-to-be revealed she will pop a balloon made especially by her pal, who will be given the exciting detail from her latest scan, while she will remain in the dark.
Yet her soap hunk other-half, whom she married earlier this year, is so convinced they will be welcoming another boy he's picked out his preferred name.
Adam told "If it's a boy, I like the name Paddington. Teddy likes the name too."
The couple confess that the pregnancy was a surprise - with Adam joking that he "cracked open the gin" when he found out. He tweeted today "I hope it's mine!"
Yet Caroline doesn't seem wholly convinced by the moniker, which is also the name of the fictional bear currently topping the UK's movie charts.
She told the publication: "I'm not sure about that, although we could call him Paddy for short, which goes well with Teddy.
"I teach a lot of kids so its hard to find a name I don't already associate with one of our students."
Meanwhile Adam admitted should they discover little Teddy is set to have a sister, he will "probably cry".
Talking of the emotional moment he added: "I'm convinced we are having another boy so it will be quite overwhelming if I find out we are having a daughter.
"Being a dad to a girl would be a lovely experience."
He added his brother - former Coronation Street actor Ryan's - behaviour with daughter Scarlett had shown him a different side to parenthood.
Meanwhile Adam will leave fans of ITV show Emmerdale devastated after he calls quits on the rural show later this year.
Adam said: “I’ve had an amazing eight years working on Emmerdale and I’ve loved every minute of it.
“It was a really tough decision to take to leave but I felt that now is the time to move on and challenge myself with some new roles.
“I’d like to thank everyone at Emmerdale for both giving me the opportunity to work as part of such a great team and for giving my character Adam Barton some great storylines too.”
