For over two years, Nicola played Nicola Rubinstein on Coronation Street, the daughter of Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre).

Sharing a photo of herself in a green gown with a baby bump, she wrote: ‘Sparking pregnancy rumours…’

The touching photos showed Nicola beaming as she held her baby bump.

Other photos included her husband, Nikesh, and her young daughter kissing her belly.

The happy couple have been flooded with well wishes.
