Joanna and James have been married since 2003 and are already parents to daughter Eva, born in February 2013, and baby son Kit, who arrived on 1 April 2015.

Joanna, who is best known for playing bubbly Stacey Shipman in Gavin & Stacey, has previously said that she is "addicted" to having babies, and would love to have a big family.

"James is one of four, so to him, four children is the norm," she told Wales Online. "For me, one if the norm, but I can see how people get addicted to having babies.

"I would like to keep going and try to pop out as many as possible – I only wish I'd started having them younger."  

The Swansea-born star also revealed that she is quite strict when it comes to parenting. She said she no longer eats her favourite sweet snacks in front of her young children, and will turn off the TV or radio if explicit songs or programmes came on.

"Having a child changes the way you are," she said. "So many more things are important because they learn from what they watch.
