Nadine Mulkerrin, who plays Cleo McQueen in Hollyoaks, has shared her journey home from the hospital with her newborn son.
The actress revealed she “cried all the way home” as she left hospital, and wouldn’t let fiancé and baby daddy Rory Douglas-Speed drive faster than 5mph.
The star gave birth to son Reggie on Tuesday night (October 15 2019), and she and co-star Rory took the little one back home yesterday (October 17), which left Nadine “terrified” that they were now responsible for a baby.
