Actress Sarah Parish and husband James Murrey are expecting their second child together in the New Year. This second pregnancy is particularly joyous for the couple after their daughter Ella-Jane sadly died at the age of eight months in January 2009 from a heart defect. Filming on the TV series Mistresses, in which Sarah stars, has been put on hold to help give her as stress-free a pregnancy as possible.

A source close to the delighted couple said:

‘Sarah’s thrilled to be pregnant and wants to make sure she does everything in her power to deliver a happy, healthy baby.”

While a spokesperson for the actress commented:

“Sarah and James are delighted to be able to let you know that they are expecting a baby early in the New Year. I hope you will understand their desire to keep any further details private until after the birth.”
