After years of fertility struggles, enduring miscarriages and endometriosis treatments, EastEnders actor James Bye and his wife Victoria have unveiled their newest addition to the family - their fourth child! The couple shared their wonderful news on Monday evening with an ultrasound scan snap and a heartwarming story about their journey to this point.

Having already been blessed with three sons Edward, Louis, and Hugo, James and Victoria were not expecting a fourth blessing when they decided to put off further fertility efforts. Victoria had previously suffered from endometriosis - a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other regions of the body such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes - making conception difficult.

The couple admitted that after several unsuccessful attempts at expanding their family, they eventually had to give up hope and begin preparing for life as a family of four. Victoria recalled: "We both knew it couldn't go on...the constant hope. And we were OK; we'd accepted how lucky we'd already been so we got on with life."

However that all changed when James was invited to take part in the twentieth series of Strictly Come Dancing. With James' intense training schedule alongside Victoria's marathon training and preparations for their vow renewal abroad, life suddenly began to get crazy. Once again fate stepped in to surprise them as Victoria became pregnant despite all odds! Victorian joked about it being down to the 'Strictly curse' and teased: “Ha - introducing the Glitterball baby!”

The couple opened up about how they were still apprehensive despite all signs pointing towards a successful pregnancy: "I think after losing a baby you can never fully let go and enjoy...despite the reassuring symptoms (thanks all day ‘morning’ sickness) and the doctors all nodding…you can’t let go of the fear".

However, friends and famous faces alike have reached out in support of the couple's happy news with hundreds flocking to congratulate them both.

James had previously mentioned his commitment to keeping his family first no matter what opportunity came his way when discussing taking part in Strictly Come Dancing. He explained: "I'm a massive family man and both Victoria and I pride ourselves on putting our family first at all times so before I even contemplated it I wanted to speak to her first."

It is clear that despite difficulties along the way, this family has remained strong throughout their struggles together as one unit! Their fourth bundle of joy will arrive later this year; yet another reminder of everything they've gone through together as husband & wife during tough times - forever proving that love conquers all!
