The couple are parents to three-year-old daughter Skye and Carly has previously spoken about the ‘mum guilt’ she felt leaving her when she competed in Dancing On Ice
Last year, Carly revealed how her attitude had changed towards her racy Hollyoaks spreads since becoming a mother.
She confessed to The Sun: ‘Now I’m a mum, I don’t know about getting any kit off.
‘I just think your attitude changes when you are older — and certainly when you’re a mum. I’m all about body confidence though, and women feeling great.’
However, recalling the time with fond memories, she said: ‘It was liberating as a woman of 20 or so to feel confident. I’ve got those pictures to look back on and enjoy.
‘It was always something I did back then knowing that, hopefully one day, I’d be an old granny and would say, ‘Oh, look at me back then’.
The mother of one previously candidly discussed how she is struggling with ‘mum guilt’ while away from her baby daughter.
Carley signed up for Dancing On Ice in 2023 but was worried about appearing on the skating show because it would mean more time apart from Skye.
However despite finding it hard, Carley revealed she was able to ‘figure it out’ with the support of Danny and her family and friends.
Detailing how she dealt with being away, Carley said: ‘I feel awful when I’m not with her. Mum guilt is real – it’s part of my DNA now.
‘I remember my first day back to work, when Skye had a rash. I got off the Tube and I could have gone left to work or right to go home, and I had to ring my mum and say: “Please tell me what to do.” It was horrible.
‘But I knew Skye was with my mother-in-law, who is a nurse, so she could not have been in better hands.’
