Former EastEnders star Belinda Owusu has given birth to her first child.
The actress, who played Libby Fox in the BBC soap and also starred in Holby City, welcomed her little one with Michael Mackin, her partner of 10 years.
She shared the happy news with her fans on Instagram, telling them she was in "sleep deprived heaven".
Belinda, 31, shared an adorable close up image of herself cradling her newborn, who was wrapped in blankets.
Drawing arrows pointing at the little one's arm resting on her chest, she wrote: "It's the little chunky arm for me," adding a string of love-heart eye emojis.
She hasn't yet revealed the gender or name of her baby, but it's clear that it was love at first sight.
Belinda had posted a snap of herself heavily pregnant on February 28, captioning it: "Ready when you are, kid #40weeks".
Her fans and famous pals took to the comments section to declare how excited they were to meet her baby, and hopefully they'll get the chance very soon with lockdown restrictions beginning to ease across the country.
She had used the snap of herself at 40 weeks pregnant to announce she was expecting a baby, so of course it came as quite a shock.
One fan commented: "Whatttttt?????? Surprise surprise......what a lovely picture, you look amazing. B...obvs had no idea, but delighted for you. Best job in the world. Good luck and enjoy."
Another penned: "omg congrats girl!!!!!"
And a third asked: "Wow!! Was that your actual baby in Holby when you scanned your stomach then Congratulations girl!!"
Her co-star Chizzy Akudolu wrote: " Can’t wait. Let me know if you need Dr Mo by your side"
While fellow star Dawn Steele posted: "Hurry uuuuuupppp - you look amazing B!"
Belinda last appeared in medical drama Holby City in March, and it's unclear whether or not she'll return after her maternity leave comes to an end.
