Joanna - who plays Stacey Shipman in the BBC sitcom - joked: "If we got 3 guinea pigs, another dog and a tortoise we’d be a full football team!"
The couple - who have daughter Eva, who was born in 2016, and sons Kit and Noah, who came along in 2015 and 2016 - were inundated with congratulatory messages from several famous faces.

Last year, Joanna admitted she and James spent the first coronavirus lockdown "threatening to divorce each other", and they used to sneak in sex sessions before they picked the kids up from school.
She said: "We spent the whole of the first lockdown arguing and threatening to divorce each other.
"Then we went through a month of literally not saying a single word to each other.
"We came out of that a bit numb and deadened and desperate for anything we could get because we just argued so much.
"'Let’s get some sex in before we have to pick the kids up from school' — that’s how desperate we’d got."
