Louisa Lytton announced she is pregnant in a heartwarming Mother's Day post on Instagram.
In a letter to her own mother, the former EastEnders star wrote: "Dear Mum, If I am a fraction of the mother you are, I know I’ll be the best.
"You have held my hand for 32 years, you have taught me right from wrong, corrected my spelling, and helped me see the light at the end of every single tunnel.
"And now you will guide me to becoming a mummy. (Just try not to move yourself in or Ben might leave)."
The baby will be the first child for Louisa, 32, and fiance Ben Bhanvra.
The two were forced to postpone their wedding twice already due to coronavirus.
Louisa and Ben are now set to tie the knot in Ben's hometown of York in July this year.
She recently told OK! Magazine : "We've booked the wedding for July, we just don't know if it will go ahead. We've said that if we can't have the exact wedding we want, with all our guests, we'll postpone it again."
And she added: "Otherwise, to me that's not a wedding – it's not the wedding I would want. It's not worth it for us," she added.
Louisa admitted she would prefer to wait to have their big day, until it's completely safe and their guests can fully relax without having to compromise on the guest list.
She also admitted she has been tempted to completely call off the wedding, adding: "Part of me felt like scrapping everything and starting again."
