Yahoo News Hollyoaks airs surprise proposal as Zoe gives birth early
Hollyoaks spoilers follow for the latest episode on Channel 4 streaming, which doesn't air on E4 until Thursday.
Hollyoaks has aired a surprise proposal and a surprise birth tonight (August 21), as the Prince McQueen/Zoe Anderson/Dilly Harcourt storyline continues.
Previously, Prince broke up with Dilly after she told his family that Zoe is carrying his child, and not his late brother Hunter's, after a one-night stand
In the latest streaming-first episode, Dilly apologised to Prince for saying he can't be with her and have Zoe's baby in his life, and for telling his family.

"I was petty and jealous, and I was so afraid of losing you. I will never make you choose between you and your baby again," she told him, and said she would like a child with him as well.
After a talk with John Paul and Sally, Prince not only forgave Dilly, but also made an impromptu proposal, using a jelly ring from a sweet tub.
"I wanna have a baby with ya, in a few years or so, after I've got the hang of this whole dad thing," he said. "But I can't imagine anyone else I'd wanna start a family with, when we're ready...
"I know it's the most fancy or expensive ring that you deserve, but I have to show you that you mean the world to me."

Elsewhere, Zoe confronted Kitty Draper and revealed that she knows everything: that she is really called Ivy and stole the identity of the real Kitty upon her death, and that she's Declan Hawthorne's daughter and was involved in Declan's death.
As she tried to arrest Kitty, Zoe's waters broke, although she couldn't believe it as she wasn't due for another three months. Although Kitty tried to run at first, she changed her mind and called an ambulance.
Zoe managed to give birth to a baby boy right there in the park with the help of Kitty and the paramedics, but the happiness did not last. At the hospital, Prince turned up and Zoe told him that their baby was in the ICU and may not survive due to being so premature.
"He can't open his eyes. The machine is the only thing keeping him alive. The doctor said he has a very low chance of survival, and we need to prepare for the worst," she revealed.
Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day, before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
