Lucy-Jo Hudson is pregnant with her second child, her first baby with boyfriend Lewis Devine.
Taking to Instagram, the Coronation Street star confirmed the news, sharing a snap of her scan.
Alongside the upload, the 36-year-old – who played Katy Harris in the ITV soap – told her 158k followers: ‘This has been so hard to keep quiet 🤫 but today was the day @lewisdevine and I got to tell Sienna the best news!!!
‘We are 13 weeks pregnant and so very excited to extend our little family….
‘Sienna is so excited to be a big sister…. and Lew is ecstatic to become a daddy for the first time and I am so happy to be having another gorgeous baby!
‘No other feeling like it xxx.’
Right on cue, fans rushed to congratulate the soap star – who also made a name for herself over in Hollyoaks – on her happy news.
‘Amazing! Congratulations to you all. So happy for you xxx,’ one commented.
‘Mahoosive congratulations to you all xxxx,’ another said.
While an Instagram user added: ‘Congratulations to you both! Delighted for you xxx.’
Lucy-Jo and Lewis first met on the set of pantomime Snow White, back in 2017.
But it wasn’t until she split from ex-husband, and former Coronation Street co-star, Alan Halsall that they got closer.
The actress was previously married to Alan – who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the ITV show – for seven years, and shares daughter Sienna with the actor.
However, they announced their split last year, with the expectant mum explaining at the time: ‘I can confirm Al and I are in the process of divorcing.
‘We remain friends and devoted Mummy and Daddy to our daughter Sienna.’
