Wood said in a statement: "Daddy Issues is the most fun I've ever had on a job and I can't wait to do it again! I'm so excited to see what Danielle has cooking for the gang. I just know it's going to be hilarious and heart melting."

Meanwhile, Morrissey added: "I'm delighted to be doing another series of Daddy Issues. Working with Aimee was a dream and Danielle's writing is so funny and heart-warming! Can't wait!"

Jon Petrie, director of BBC Comedy, said: "We're delighted to play midwife to a second series of Daddy Issues. Danielle Ward's razor-sharp scripts and the dream pairing of Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey have struck a chord with viewers and we can't wait to see Gemma and Malcolm take the first steps on their parenting/grand-parenting journey."

The first season saw hedonistic 24 year old Gemma discover she was pregnant after a random hook-up, leading her to turn to her hapless and recently divorced father Malcolm for support.
The season ended with Gemma having her baby, and her own mother coming to visit her in hospital.
Daddy Issues season 1 is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
