Charley Webb has revealed she’s in agony after being diagnosed with debilitating pelvic condition.
The Emmerdale actress, who is pregnant with her third child, said she’s been suffering from morning sickness and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), a condition that causes excessive movement of the pubic symphysis, as well as associated pain, possibly because of a misalignment of the pelvis.
The condition that Charley has been diagnosed with is due to the pelvic joints becoming stiff and moving unevenly.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, the actress explained: “I still get waves of sickness but I’ve also been diagnosed with SPD [symphysis pubis dysfunction].
“It’s when your muscles have relaxed too much ready for the birth. It’s agony.”
Charley admitted the condition has affected her pregnancy experience.
She added: “I’d be lying if I said I really enjoy the experience of getting bigger. But I appreciate what my body is doing. I think pregnancy is amazing.”
Charley told the publication that she would like to give birth in hospital “for the sake of my own anxiety”, just in case anything goes wrong.

Charley, who plays Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap, is expecting her third child with her soap co-star husband Matthew Wolfenden.
The couple are already parents to sons Buster, nine, and Bowie, three.
Charley and Matthew, who plays David Metcalfe, announced in February that they were expecting their third baby together.
Last month, Charley said she’s getting a bit of pressure from their two older sons with one wanting another brother and the other desperate for a sister.

“We’ve got it again now, the pressure of what sex it’s going to be as Bowie wants a brother and Buster wants a sister!” she told OK!.
“Buster was so desperate for Bowie to be a boy and he was, so it would be nice to have that same thing for Bowie – but it doesn’t matter to me at all.”
