Speaking of becoming a father, Danny told OK! Magazine: ‘Yeah, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, I think it’s good nerves, though. But sometimes I do get a bit like. “Oh God, what if I do this wrong? I’m nervous about that but I think to learn and to grow, you’ve got to learn on the job.’
Meanwhile, the actor, who plays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap, discussed how he’d fare in the actual labour, admitting that he can get rather ‘nauseous’ in certain situations.

‘I get quite nauseous in those situations, but I’m hoping the adrenaline takes over and makes me get a hold of myself and realise what I’m there for. Hopefully I’ll concentrate on Steph rather than worry about what’s going on around me.’
The TV star added that he isn’t a ‘solid-stomached’ guy, but added that the hypnobirthing sessions they’ve had ‘really helped’ in helping him to know what to expect and how he can support his partner.
Danny went on to say that he’ll be ‘alright’ in not crying during the birth until the moment he hears his child cry, adding that it will be a ‘release’ to know they’re child has arrived ‘healthy and safe’ into the world.

Meanwhile Steph noted that she won’t put any ‘pressure’ on herself during the birth, adding that that a ‘healthy’ baby is not important.
She explained: ‘In terms of labour, I’m just not putting any pressure on myself because I know it can be pretty unpredictable. I’m not going to put pressure on myself to have it a certain way. What will be will be, as long as the baby is healthy that’s all that matters’.
The couple are waiting until the birth to find out the sex of their child.

She told the panel: ‘I was diagnosed with that when I was about 17 because I just had absent periods so the GP had always said it might be a struggle to conceive because obviously we couldn’t track ovulation if I wasn’t having a period.
‘So they’d always said after six months if you’re struggling to come to the GP and we’ll refer you to the gynecologist, so that’s what we did.’

Keen to hear Danny’s experience, Jane Moore asked the actor if he felt any ‘pressure’ during their pregnancy journey, which saw the couple consider the possibility of IVF treatment.
He responded: ‘Absolutely yeah. Naturally we’d kind of look after the mum and I wanted to do that as much as I could for Steph. But in the back of my mind In was always thinking “is it me?” or “is it Steph, is it both of us?”
‘So at the heightened periods where Steph was ovulating, the peak of that was the time to get down to business. There’s a certain pressure to it and it becomes a lot more difficult to do the job.’
He added: ‘There’s a pressure there obviously, it’s more for me wanting to have the best support system for Steph as I could.’
