Another cast EastEnders cast member is expecting a new arrivalÂ…

EastEnder actor Cliff Parisi and his partner are expecting their first child together after a three month whirlwind romance.

Parisi, who plays Minty Peterson in the BBC soap, also plans to marry his girlfriend - production team member, Tara Wyer - and they have already moved in together in North London.

A source told The Sun: "They are so happy. Cliff wasted no time in getting down on one knee to pop the question."

The couple first met on the BBC's 'Let's Dance for Comic Relief'. Parisi already has three children from a previous relationship.

EastEnders also confirmed the news, which surfaced a day after EastEnd actress Jo Joyner (Tanya Branning) announced that she is expecting twins.
