Glaswegian actress Joy McAvoy has shared how she almost gave birth on the set of Two Doors Down.
The best part was she had joked in that same room earlier how she'd end up giving birth while filming, reports the Daily Record. The 40-year-old, who plays Michelle in the BBC comedy series, was pregnant with her son while filming the new series.
The Scottish actress had the audience at BBC Scotland's Hogmanay show howling as she relived the moments before she gave birth to her son, Jamie Clement.

When asked by presenter Edith Bowman how she had enjoyed 2022, she said: "I've loved it. I've loved having a wee baby. I had my wee baby boy."
Edith then asked: "Am I right in thinking he nearly arrived on set?"
Joy replied: "In Beth's house, my waters broke. It was during Covid and we had two Covid setbacks, so we shut down for 20 days, which is a huge thing in anyone's schedule when you're filming.
"I was getting closer and closer to my due date.
"We've got a WhatsApp group and I texted everyone saying, 'at this rate I'll be giving birth in Beth's house'. Elaine C. Smith was writing, 'don't worry I'll be there with hot towels' and Arabella was like, 'I'll be there with the hot water'.
"Two days later my waters broke in the house. It was just all go and panic. It was crazy.
"I'm loving being a mum, it's the best job in the world, it's amazing. I never knew love like it. Sorry, it's New Year, it's getting emotional."
The actress is the older sister of Hollywood actor James McAvoy, and has starred in Two Doors Down since 2018.
Joy has also had roles in Doctors, Only an Excuse?, Holy City, Avengers: Endgame and Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth.
