Danny Miller’s wife Steph praised by fans after breastfeeding baby on live TV
Emmerdale star Danny Miller’s wife Steph has been praised by fans after breastfeeding live during Loose Women.
The couple appeared on the ITV daytime show on Friday as they candidly discussed the difficulties they faced falling pregnant, as Steph, who is a midwife, suffers from polycystic ovaries (PCOS), which can lead to fertility problems. However, their newborn daughter Edith could be heard crying backstage, prompting Steph’s mum to bring her out to be settled.
Steph, who had an intense water birth at home, introduced her daughter to the panellists and audience, and realising her daughter needed feeding, she discreetly began breastfeeding the newborn, while Danny had their two-year-old son Albert on his knee. Viewers were impressed by Steph’s multi-tasking skills, and heaped praise on the mum-of-two for bringing awareness to breastfeeding. “A massive well done to Steph Miller, showing how natural breastfeeding is especially on live tv,” one tweeted.

Emmerdale star Danny explained how they had navigated the emotional turmoil they faced when trying to get pregnant, and he realised his job was just to support Steph as she was given the fertility drug Clomid to help her get pregnant. “That's my role to be there for my partner Steph and that's all I ever wanted to do was just support her the best I could and I think supporting each other through it worked, you know once you've got a shoulder to cry on,” he sweetly shared.
Steph also spoke about her home birth with Edith, and said it was “amazing” as she recalled the intense 36-minute labour. “We had a home birth at my mum's house as we were in the process of moving again and my mum was decorating her bedroom so it was empty. We put the pool up in mum's room and it was amazing,” she said.
