EastEnders star Michael Greco, 53, is set to become a father for the second time two years after his first born
Michael Greco has revealed he is expecting his second child.
The former EastEnders actor, 53, welcomed his first child Gianluca in 2021, who was born prematurely weighing just 2.2kg with a rare birth defect.
He has now excitedly announced that he is preparing for a new baby, as he shared the news on his Instagram page on Friday afternoon.
Michael, who played Beppe DiMarco in the BBC show, shared a photo of their unborn child's ultrasound scan with the words: “See you in June, daddy!”
He also wrote: 'Absolutely over the moon to announce another Baby Greco is on the way. My beautiful boy Gianluca can't wait to see his younger brother or sister.
“Thank you God for giving me another miracle baby. See you in June, bubba.”
Former EastEnders actor Michael Greco has revealed he is expecting his second child with partner Helen Harris (pictured with their firstborn Gianluca)
The couple has now excitedly announced that they are preparing for a new baby, as he shared the news on his Instagram page on Friday afternoon
Earlier this year, Michael was every doting dad he could be as he enjoyed a family holiday with his partner Hele and their son Gianluca, two.
The trio headed abroad in search of a spot in the sun, while Helen took to Instagram to share a slew of cheerful snaps from their time abroad.
The trip marks a major milestone for the family, with Michael previously breaking down in tears over Helen's traumatic birth.
Gianluca was born with a rare abnormality in which his intestines had developed outside his body. But almost two years later, the toddler looked happy and healthy in the photos.
Helen shared sweet snaps of a shirtless Michael on the beach with their son, as well as their son sitting on his lap at dinner and on the plane.
In another photo, Gianluca enjoyed a paddle in a pool wearing his orange armbands.
Helen, who has two other children from a previous relationship, captioned the photo: 'A lovely week away in the warm sunshine to relax, reset and spend some quality time with little Gianluca before he grows up too fast ! Thanks @thegrecs.
'It was strange knowing that @lily.may_harris was skiing in Switzerland, @c.__harris was playing football in Spain and we were relaxing under the warm sun and blue sky, but I guess this will happen more and more as they get older…so proud of them both, their strength and independence…plus, they had a great time!!.'
Earlier this year, Michael was a doting dad through and through as he enjoyed a family holiday with his partner Hele and their son Gianluca, two
Earlier this year, Michael reunited with the Di Marco family 25 years after appearing on the soap opera.
The family were the main characters on the BBC show in the 90s and consisted of mother Rosa (Louise Jameson) and her sons Beppe (Michael Greco) and Gianni (Marc Bannerman).
Younger sisters Teresa and Nicky, played by Leila Birth and Carly Hillman, also appeared in the soap as grandparents Bruno and Luisa and grandson Joe, who was Beppe's son.
They proved a success in Walford with their family-run Giuseppe's restaurant, but by the time 2000 rolled around, then show manager John Yorke decided to cull the family, with the exception of Beppe and Joe, whom he retained until 2002.
