A spokesperson for Emmerdale confirmed the couple's happy news in a statement. It read, "Lucy Pargeter and her partner Rudi Coleano are delighted to announce they are expecting twins spring 2017. They will be long-awaited siblings for their daughter Lola."
Lucy thanked fans for their kind messages on Twitter after the announcement was made.
The actress proposed to Rudi just two weeks after meeting him and although the pair had a lavish ceremony planned, the wedding was put on hold when they found out they were expecting Lola 12 years ago.
Now with twins on the way, Rudi has just proposed to Lucy and the pair plan to tie the knot sooner rather than later.
Lucy has been a major part of Emmerdale since joining the soap back in 2002. The actress also appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2003** and Soapstar Superstar** in 2007.
The couple's twins are expected to arrive in Spring 2017. Congratulations to the pair!
