Isabelle shared the snaps with the message: “Welcome to the world Suzie Rose Parr.”

The adorable pictures show the new mum and dad cuddling their new daughter and bringing her home from the hospital.

Mike’s Emmerdale co-stars flocked to congratulate the couple on their happy arrival.

His on-screen brother Bradley Riches wrote: “Love you! X”

Actor Joe Gill added: “Amazing.”

Mike initially played the role of Ross from 2013 until his departure in late 2018.

The character recently returned to screens, as part of a bare knuckle fighting ring.

He previously left the village for a new life with Rebecca (Emily Head) and her son Sebastian.

As Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle), who is caught up with the shady organisation, prepared to face his opponent – it turned out to be none other than Ross.

Speaking previously about his return to the Dales, Mike said: “I’m over the moon to be returning to Emmerdale

“Ross is a character I’m extremely fond of and I’m excited to explore what he’s been up to over the past five years. 

“After seeing the scripts, I can’t wait for the audience to see what’s in store.

“One thing I can say is Ross’s return will no doubt create fireworks.”
