Earlier this year EastEnders actress Kellie Bright announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Paul Stocker.

The pair, who married in 2014, are already parents to four-year-old son Freddy. Kellie adorably revealed her pregnancy on Twitter, writing: "Shhh… Don't tell anyone, but I'm pregnant! My hubby and I are over the moon & looking forward 2 meeting our little person in Nov #Mama@40"

Before fans could even begin to worry about the EastEnders character Linda Carter saying goodbye to the Queen Vic, the actress assured her legions of fans: "And for those of you that want to know, I will be returning to @bbceastenders after I've had the baby #queenvicismyhome #LindaCarter4ever"

Yay!

EastEnders fans were left wondering how exactly Linda will leave the square, one fan even thought of a theory that would involve Danny Dyer taking a break from EastEnders too.

And as Linda's break approaches, Kellie and her husband Paul have opened up about getting pregnant for the second time.

They revealed that this time round it was different compared to her first pregnancy, Paul said: "It took us ages. By the time Strictly rolled around in 2015, we'd been trying for about a year."

Kellie admitted: "I think Strictly helped us, as it took the focus off trying and the fact I was nearly 40.

"We were trying for more than a year and I was aware that I wasn't getting any younger – but here we are, pregnant and I'm due on November 26."

Cute!

Kellie also revealed that this time round she's just "going with the flow" for her birthing plans and that unlike getting married, having children was always something she wanted: "If I hadn't become a mum that would have killed me a little bit inside somehow."

No worries there then.

We can't wait for the yummy mummy to have her second child!
