Home and Away star Dan Ewing and his wife Marni have announced that they are going to be parents for the first time.
According to RTE Ten, the actor, who plays Heath Braxton in the show, told New Idea magazine the good news.
“We’re trying to stay as calm as possible but we’re extremely excited there’s a baby Ewing on the way.
“When we went for an ultrasound and heard that little heartbeat for the first time, I just had a big, stupid grin on my face, crying and laughing all at once,” he told the magazine.
“It was just like the day we got married, when I saw my beautiful bride walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. That same stupid grin.”
Dan also took to twitter to thank fans for their support.
Touched by all the well wishes for @marniewing myself and our future mini Ewing that is on the way. Very exciting times ahead 🙂

The pair were delighted with the news as they suffered a miscarriage last year while in London.
