Actress Michelle Keegan has announced she is expecting her first baby with husband Mark Wright.
The former Coronation Street actress and star of Netflix's Fool Me Once shared a photo of her holding her bump while standing opposite Wright, who rose to fame on the reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex, on a beach.
The Instagram post was captioned "2025 is going to be a special one for us" followed by a baby emoji.
Keegan and Wright began dating in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and married in May 2015.
Wright’s brother Josh was among those who congratulated the couple, commenting on the post: "Over the moon for you both and can’t wait for our boys to meet your little one."
His friend and fellow The Only Way Is Essex star James Argent also said he "can’t wait to be an uncle" to their new baby.
"I love you and I’m so happy for you both. (You’re) going to be amazing parents", he added.
Wright’s mother said she was "super excited" to welcome another grandchild as she shared the same announcement photo to her Instagram.
"My heart is full of excitement. Xxx @michkeegan @wrighty_ can’t wait to meet the new bubba. Xxx", she added.
Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison, fellow former Coronation Street actress Georgia May Foote, Emmerdale actor Danny Miller and The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes were also among the famous faces who sent their best wishes to the couple.
Keegan began her acting career on TV playing Tina McIntyre in Coronation Street, joining the show in 2008.
Following her departure in 2014, she starred in the drama Our Girl and the comedy-drama Brassic as Erin Croft.
She is set to return as Kate Thorne for another series of Ten Pound Poms, a drama about a group of Brits who decide to leave post-war Britain.
Following his time on reality TV, Wright gained further recognition after finishing as a runner-up on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2011 and was a finalist in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2014.
