EASTENDERS actress Louisa Lytton is expecting her first child with fiance Ben Bhanvra.
Lytton, who plays Ruby Allen in the long-running BBC soap, shared snaps of her growing baby bump with her partner.
The 32-year-old star initially announced the details of her pregnancy with a sweet video shared on her Instagram profile.
Louisa, who can be found under the Instagram handle @louisanastrilytton, shared a clip on Mother’s Day of herself opening a letter that read: “Just a little note to say… There’s a baby on the way!”
The actress can be seen pointing to a baby bump while her fiance, Ben, is spotted reading a book about parenting.

Today, Louisa shared a cute snap of herself outdoors, with her partner Ben cradling her baby bump.
