Lucy Fallon, a star of Coronation Street, looked stunning this night at the National Television Awards 2024.
The 28-year-old actress Bethany Platt revealed the amazing news to her 571,000 Instagram fans last month in a cute video that included their 1-year-old son Sonny Jude.
Arriving at the star-studded event, the mother of one showed off her growing baby bulge while clutching her stomach with an all-white mesh outfit.
The star accessorized her ensemble with a stylish clutch purse reminiscent of a mosaic, bold earrings, and a lovely bun for hair.
This comes after Lucy confirmed to Corrie fans whether or not she’ll be returning to the soap.
‘Lots of Corrie related q’s – I won’t be away for tooo long and I am returning after I pop the baby out,’ she wrote after sharing a mirror selfie on set.
She captioned it ‘half way there’, suggesting she is at 20 weeks pregnant.
The incredible news comes just half a year on from her return to the serial following a three year break.
Her ITVBe Drama Queens co-star Amy Walsh, best known as Tracey Robinson in Emmerdale commented: ‘Awwww congratulations beautiful.’
On-screen mum Tina O’Brien added a series of heart emojis, whilst Max Turner actor Paddy Bever wrote: ‘so happy for you’.
Charlotte Jordan, who plays barmaid Daisy Midgeley added: ‘the family is growingggggg the family is beautifullllll and bump is so lucky to have youuuuu.’
It looks set to be a busy time both for Lucy and her alter-ego Bethany in the coming months.
Earlier this month, Metro.co.uk exclusively revealed that the ITV soap are lining up a topical new story for Bethany that will highlight the dangers of undergoing cosmetic surgery abroad.
A source told Metro.co.uk: ‘This is a huge story for Bethany, and viewers will see her travel to a foreign clinic for cosmetic surgery. As with a lot of these unregulated procedures, it doesn’t exactly go to plan.’
