ITV Emmerdale's Billy star Jay Kontzle was left 'sweating' when he discovered 'sly' wife's baby news

His Emmerdale character Billy Fletcher was recently discussing how he wanted to become a dad after marrying Dawn, but in real life the actor who plays him, Jay Kontzle, got quite the surprise when his real life wife told him she was pregnant with their third child.

The ITV soap star has shared the happy news that he and wife Mimi will be welcoming another bundle of joy into the world soon. The couple are already proud parents to daughter KaiBo, five, and four-year-old son Zian.

Jay, 31, found out that he was set to become a father-of-three while on the set of the ITV soap where he has played Billy since 2018. And it's fair to say he wasn't expecting it.
