The actress, who played Kerri Ann on the soap, shared the news with an adorable video of her and her husband cradling her bump on the beach.

Alongside the video, which was posted to Instagram, the actress described her pregnancy as “some kind of sacred magic” and “an act of God”. 

According to the post, she is currently 17 weeks pregnant with twins and very much looking forward to meeting them both.

“Just when we thought it may never happen. It happens. Some kind of sacred magic. Faith, positivity, determination.. [and] an act of god,” she said.

“We can’t wait to meet you. We can’t wait to meet both of you.” 

Dixon married her husband and former Limerick TD Tom Neville in the summer of 2019 after Neville got down on one knee while on holiday in Italy in September 2018.

The wedding was attended by then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and his partner Matt Barrett and the reception was held at the five-star Powerscourt Resort in Co Wicklow.
