EastEnders star Tameka Empson has surprised fans with the news she’s given birth to a baby boy during lockdown.
The actress, 43, announced her new arrival as she reunited with co-star Diane Parish on Thursday’s Loose Women ahead of their appearance on Secrets From The Square.
Tameka – who took a break from EastEnders last year – admitted she kept her pregnancy a secret as she wanted to enjoy it for herself, but confessed that parenting in lockdown had been ‘a challenge.’

Tameka gushed: ‘I’ve been contributing to the human race… I have a baby boy, a bouncing baby boy.
‘[It’s] a challenge… nothing prepares you for it. My daughter is 6 and we’re doing homeschooling, and then you’ve got a newborn and you’ve got to watch everything… he’s sleeping now, which helps. I’m made of the good stuff, I’ve come through it OK.’
