She previously shared how she suffered from ‘mum guilt’
The happy news comes after Verity revealed she faced mum guilt after leaving her two children while she worked.
She told OK! magazine: “There was always mum guilt when Amelie was little. I was in Kinky Boots and felt so lucky to have that opportunity but I also had a one-year-old baby at home and needed to be a mum.”
Meanwhile, she continued: “I had to juggle the two, which was exhausting. But it came down to remembering that I didn’t set out to just be a mum. I wanted a career too. I wanted to be a role model and show my daughter that she could do both.”
Since leaving Emmerdale, Verity has starred in Doctors and been in several stage shows, including Hairspray, The Sound Of Music and Chicago.
