BABY JOY Hollyoaks star secretly gives birth to second child – 14 years after final soap appearance
HOLLYOAKS star Beth Kingston has secretly given birth to her second child – 14 years after her final appearance on the Channel 4 soap.
The now mum-of-two, who played India Longford on the show, welcomed her baby boy into the world three weeks ago.
She took to Instagram to share the news with her fans alongside some adorable pictures of her little boy.
In one snap, the tiny bundle of joy is seen in the arms of his older sister Aurora as she holds him close to her.
Beth, 39, also shared a video of the newborn laying on her chest just moments after he was delivered.
She looks radiant as she pulls a face and smiles at the camera as he lay fast asleep on her.
The new mum posted snaps of her husband holding his son as well as his first pictures at home.
She captioned it: “Sometimes, a week is a lifetime. And what a wonderful week it’s been since we met you little Bear.”
Revealing his name, the soap star continued: “Aubere Finn Kingston-Jones,” alongside a teddy bear emoji.
Her followers flocked to the comments section to congratulate her on the baby as one said: “Massive congratulations, he is adorable!”
Another person commented: “Congratulations, what a handsome boy.”
Somebody else penned: “So observant already and what a wonderful big sister.”
While a fourth added: “Aww he’s so precious, congratulations Beth.”
Beth joined Hollyoaks as her character India back in September 2009 and was on the soap for three years.
She landed the role on the show after winning an online competition run by Hollyoaks Desperately Seeking.
India was murdered by evil granddad Silas Blissett (Jeff Rawle) after joining an online dating site and agreeing to meet a man named Cameron.
She was Silas’ first victim before he turned into a full-blown serial killer and murdered many other residents in the village.
Since leaving the soap, Beth now works for PR in the beauty world, namely global nail brand, Townhouse.
She’s also previously worked for other big brands including Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Robanne and Carolina Herrera.
Beth got married back in 2021, although she’s kept the name of her husband off of social media.
The couple welcomed their first child, a girl named Aurora, into the world in 2023.
