Her baby’s father is her longtime partner, Geordie Shore star Greg Lake. Little Daye’s middle name, in wonderful soap fashion, is a smush up of her late father Colin’s name, and Mick, her partner’s father. Aw!
The gorgeous star told The Metro that she’s been enjoying life as a new mom but feels that she will be ready and prepared when it’s time to get back to shooting her role on the popular sudser. She excitedly relayed how much her life has changed since giving birth, including diaper duty!
Metcalfe debuted on Hollyoaks in June 2006. In February 2015 her character was killed off, but in that time honored soap show tradition, Mercedes was later discovered to be alive and breathing.
