Congratulations are in order for Josh Peck, star of The Amanda Show, the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and – of course – Drake & Josh.

The actor and his wife Paige O'Brien have announced that they are expecting a baby via an adorable Instagram photo.

Josh looks over the moon in the picture, which he captioned: "Oh baby. Literally, there's a baby in there. Love u @paigeobrienn."

O'Brien shared her own photo of her cradling her bump, writing: "We're havin' a baby!"

The two got married in June last year in a ceremony in Malibu, but sadly it caused a bit of drama when Josh's former co-star Drake Bell tweeted his disappointment at not being invited.

The two have since made up, with Drake telling Digital Spy that he was disheartened to hear people were giving Josh grief on the street over it.

He also said: "Josh and I have had way bigger spats and have been in much more 'I'm never going to talk to you' moments. And then a week later, we're inseparable.

"[The whole thing] did show us how much love there is for these characters and how much love there is for Josh and I."

Speaking of those characters, Drake said that Josh has come up with lots of "out of the box" ideas for a continuation of Drake & Josh.
