Hollyoaks actress and former The X Factor star Rachel Adedeji has announced her pregnancy exclusively to Closer Magazine.
Rachel, 25, married her talent agent partner Jason Finegan two years ago, and revealed that they're expecting their first baby in this week's Closer Magazine.
The Hollyoaks actress, who rose to fame after appearing on The X Factor in 2009, managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps until reaching the 23-week mark - which is something of a miracle in the world of celebrity!
She told the mag that she is due on 27 December, and is over the moon to be expecting a Christmas baby.
And whilst she was quite keen to find out the sex of their baby, Jason reminded her that it would be a nicer surprise to find out at the birth.

Rachel, who has starred as Lisa Loveday on Hollyoaks since last year, revealed that she was turning to her co-stars Jennifer Metcalfe and Chelsee Healey for support and advice - as both of them have given birth in the last couple of months.
Jennifer gave birth in June, and Chelsee welcomed her baby girl in July.
Rachel said: "Jen and Chelsee are both getting on brilliantly and have been giving me loads of advice.
"When Chelsee found out, she said to me, 'It's the best thing ever, you can't imagine ever loving anything as much as you love your baby.'
"And Jen has been amazing - I oculdn't ask for a better friend. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was like, 'Jen, what do I do?!'
"She's an amazing mother and seeing her and Greg with Daye is just adorable. We've been talking about holidaying together once my baby arrives."
Aww, we love the thought of a mini-Hollyoaks holiday! Or should that be Holly-day...?
Congratulations to the happy couple!
