Throughout her pregnancy, Hayley shared fun updates including this one where she joked about the size of her baby bump.
In the update, she said, "If you don’t laugh... you’ll cry! 😂🙈I’m massive.. as you can see.. it’s only when I saw this photo that I actually realised just how big I was! I look like I’ve shoved a watermelon down my pants! 😂".
She then thanked her family for her baby shower, adding, "I had the best day today with my family.. they surprised me with a baby shower and it was so lovely! This last little bit is proving so tough.. but I’m counting down the days now til I meet my little boy.
"Now there’s a sentence I NEVER thought I’d ever say. 🥰😊".
Hayley is known for her roles as Andrea Beckett in Coronation Street and Delilah Dingle in Emmerdale, and still remains close to several soap co-stars.
The 42-year-old has described her pregnancy as a ‘miracle’ after being told that she wouldn’t be able to conceive, and we’re delighted to see that mum and baby are doing well.
Hayley Tamaddon announced her pregnancy back in April, writing, ‘I’m so pleased to tell you all... I’m expecting my first child with my wonderful boyfriend Adrian!! 👶🏻 I’ve always wanted to be a mum and didn’t think I could have children.
"And now, at the ripe old age of 42 - I’M PREGNANT! And We couldn’t be happier. 💖".
