Hollyoaks star Jazmine Franks has revealed that she is expecting her first child.
The actress, who played Esther Bloom on the Channel 4 soap, announced on social media that she and partner Danny Potter are set to welcome their baby in the summer.

‘Summer 2023 is set to be a wild one!, she wrote on the social media platform. ‘Can’t wait to cause mayhem with a mini Franks-Potter.’
Jazmine’s former Hollyoaks co-stars were quick to comment, with Nancy Osborne actress Jessica Fox writing: ‘Oh my goodness! Congratulations beautiful lady!
‘How exciting!! Xxxxx.’
Nadine Mulkerrin, who played Cleo McQueen until her departure last year, wrote: ‘Yaaayy xxx’ while Cindy Cunningham actress Stephanie Waring added: ‘Congratulations.’
