EastEnders star Louisa Lytton, who plays Ruby on the BBC soap, has announced that she and fiancé Ben Bhanvra are expecting their first child.
In a Mother's Day video posted to her Instagram, Lytton opened a card that said: "Just a little note to say..."
On the inside it read: "There's a baby on the way!"
Alongside the video, she wrote:
"Dear Mum,
If I am a fraction of the mother you are, I know I'll be the best.
You have held my hand for 32 years, you have taught me right from wrong, corrected my spelling, and helped me see the light at the end of every single tunnel.
And now you will guide me to becoming a mummy. (Just try not to move yourself in or Ben might leave)."
Lytton concluded: "Happy Mother's Day All, to those that are here, that are not with us in person but with us every moment and to those on a journey."
EastEnders airs on RTÉ One and BBC One on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
