The couple are best known for their soap roles, with Amy playing Tracy Robinson in the ITV soap whilst Toby played EastEnders villain and serial killer Gray Atkins until his exit from the soap after the character was jailed.

Speaking recently, Amy admitted she found it hard to balance time with her family and her work. She explained: "It's just a juggle, a struggle sometimes ... I've barely seen him since we got married.

"We do feel like newlyweds, we haven't been together that long in the grand scheme of things so our relationship is still quite new and fresh but then you throw a toddler in the mix and work commitments and it's crazy."

Amy and Toby got together in 2020 after meeting in the audience at Strictly Come Dancing a year before. Speaking about how becoming a parent changed them, Toby told OK! magazine: "We’ve always been a really good team anyway and I think Bonnie coming along has shown that we’re meant to be parents together, because we’re finding our roles."

The pair's love story kicked off in the audience at Strictly, which Amy described as a "twist of fate".

She said: "The twists of fate that came into play to make us meet are crazy. Jamie Laing was supposed to be in it that year but he broke his ankle so Kelvin Fletcher replaced him, and Toby wasn’t even supposed to be in the audience that week.

"It only came out when we spoke to each other and we put two and two together and were like, 'So you do that and I do that.' We didn’t even say the words Emmerdale or EastEnders. After the show someone sent me a screenshot of us in the audience and I sent it to my best friend and joked, 'Me and my future husband,' just thinking it was going to be a date."
