Former Hollyoaks star Ben-Ryan Davies has shared the exciting news that he’s to become a first time dad with girlfriend Lottie.
Ben-Ryan, best known to soap fans as evil rapist Nick Savage in the Chester-based soap took to Instagram to share the wonderful news with fans.
Former cast mates rushed to congratulate the couple. Jamie Lomas, former Hollyoaks top dog Warren Fox, commented: ‘Congratulations mate!’, while Richard Linnell, who played the troubled yet brilliant Alfie Nightingale, offered further congratulations.
News quickly spread across soap-land, with Emmerdale’s Danny Miller (Aaron Dingle) and Jay Kontzle (Billy Fletcher) also congratulating the soon-to-be parents.
Ben-Ryan hard launched his relationship with Lottie back in April, by uploading a picture to Instagram, celebrating their six month anniversary.
He starred in Hollyoaks between 2016 and 2017 as Nick Savage, nephew of beloved character Dirk Savage (David Kennedy).
Initially, he was portrayed as a fun-loving ladies man but he soon showed his true colours when he raped Ellie Nightingale (Sophie Porley) and Holly Cunningham (Amanda Clapham).
Nick was eventually jailed for his hideous crimes.
Ben-Ryan is currently touring the UK in the adults-only pantomime, The Wizard of Oz.
