Kara Tointon reveals sister Hannah has given birth

Hannah Tointon has welcomed her first child with fiancé Joe Thomas, her sister Kara revealed during a recent podcast interview.

Actress Kara, 39, shared her happiness while chatting on Ashley James’ Mum’s The Word podcast, revealing that the couple were now parents to a baby girl.

The former EastEnders star said the pair were convinced they were expecting a boy after the sonographer even slipped out and said ‘he’.

She joked that they were “whipped for six” when Hannah gave birth to a baby girl.

Kara explained, “My sister just had her first. The funny thing is that on Joe’s side there are only boys, even during the scan they accidentally said he was him at one point so they thought it was a boy.

‘Everyone who played the shape game etc said she’s having a boy, so when they finally had a boy… it was really brilliant, but it knocked them out for six.

So they hadn’t even chosen a girl’s name yet. They left it as a surprise.’

Hannah and Joe met after she played his character Simon’s girlfriend Tara on screen during series three of the Inbetweeners.
