Jessie Cave announced her third pregnancy earlier this month, in a sweet Instagram post.

She's already mum to five-year-old son Donnie, and three-year-old daughter Margot, who she shares with comedian partner Alfie Brown.

Jessie has starred in three Harry Potter films and one video game, but admitted she never intended to be an actress.

She told Bustle, “I never intended to be an actress — I needed money and accidentally got the role. Well, I auditioned but I wanted to be a performance artist which is what I am doing now."

We're so glad she's doing okay!
