Hollyoaks’ Nadine Mulkerrin cuddles up to baby Reggie in bed after visit from co-star Jennifer Metcalfe
HOLLYOAKS’ Nadine Mulkerrin cuddled up to baby Reggie in bed after a visit from her co-star Jennifer Metcalfe.
The 26-year-old actress welcomed her first child with co-star and boyfriend Rory Douglas Speed earlier this month.
The couple have been documenting their first steps into parenthood on social media, and Nadine, who plays Cleo McQueen, has made no secret over her lack of sleep.
Taking to her Instagram Stories today, she shared a cute picture in bed with Reggie, as Rory slept beside them and wrote: “No sleep for mummy!”
Her spirits will no doubt have been lifted by a visit from co-star Jennifer, 36, who plays Mercedes McQueen.
Jennifer brought along her son Daye and partner Greg Lake, and Nadine posted a number of pictures of the couple doting on her newborn.
Sharing cute posts as if they were from Reggie, Nadine said: “I cuddled @greglake_ & @missjenjomet today!!” while another one said “and my dinosaur friend Daye Lake.”
Reggie was also visited by Rory’s family, with a cute snap captioned: “Four generations of Speeds.”
After her sleepless night, Nadine shared a quick video of a sleeping Reggie having a photo shoot, before heading out to a local cafe with the baby and Rory, who plays Joel Dexter.
As Rory sat alongside the pram, she wrote: “On the lane with my boys.”
Earlier in the weekend, Nadine had given fans a closer look at adorable Reggie as he dozed on her shoulder.
The new mum tenderly placed a hand on his back and gave a little smile, and she captioned the image: “My little man” with a love heart emoji.

In the photo, baby Reggie is wrapped up and resting on dad Rory’s bare chest.
Rory is gazing over adoringly at Nadine, who is fast asleep beside them.
He captioned the post: “Here a picture of me for once actually awake in the middle of the night while Nadine finally gets some sleep.. would love to say this is a common occurrence”.
