Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker announces pregnancy with baby bump on BRITs red carpet

Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker has announced she is expecting her second child with her husband Christian Contreras.

The actress debuted her blossoming bump on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday 8 February.

The 39-year-old oozed glamour in an elegant cream and orange gown by luxury British brand Cimone as her baby bump stole the show.

She matched her lipstick with the orange that was emblazoned down her flowing dress.

Jodie and her husband has kept the little one out of the spotlight.

Before her appearance at the BRITs red carpet on Tuesday evening, the star kept news of her pregnancy quiet from the public.

Her choice of outfit was no coincidence as her stylist, Helen Sykes, worked with Creative Director Carli Pearson (who featured on series one of Next In Fashion) to create the perfect ensemble.

The Creative Director said: "We chose orange because it is a powerful and divisive colour, you either love it or hate it – it’s flamboyant, determined, and designed to make a splash – it’s not a colour for a wallflower.

"This polarising quality is analogous with the theory behind our dynamic ever-changing ‘embroidery’."

Jodie and her American actor hubby Christian Contreras married in 2008.

The two had met while in drama school, with Christian being known from Zero Dark Thirty and Fury.

She previously discussed her marriage with Mirror and said: "He’s from Tucson and I’m from Huddersfield.

"But I don’t divulge stuff about him, because I don’t think he’d appreciate it when he’s not here to speak for himself. We do get comments like, 'Where the hell did you two meet?' We’re like an international couple."

She added: "I felt really young when I got married at just 26, especially living and working somewhere as fast-paced as London - where you can’t even plan for the next week, let alone commit to something for the rest of your life.

"But I’m a good wife, though I think I’m a bit rubbish at home comforts."
