Pregnant Carley Stenson shows off her baby bump as she prepares to give birth
Former Hollyoaks star Carley Stenson showed off her beautiful baby bump with fans as she posed for a mirror selfie after a workout.
Carley - who played Steph Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap and Harriet Shelton in the BBC's Doctors - held her bump while wearing a pink sports bra and a pair of grey leggings. The 41 year old actress wrote: '#pregnancyjourney #pregnantat41 #workout'.
One followed asked Carley if there are "more risks while being pregnant at 41," and she replied: "They keep a closer eye on you with more check ups which I enjoyed as I got to hear baby more."
Carley and her husband Danny Mac - who also appeared in Hollyoaks as Mark Savage - announced they were expecting their second child together later this year. Carley shared the sweet announcement on Tuesday, 16 April.
The pair started going out in 2011 and got married six years later. They then welcomed their first child together, a daughter called Skye, in March 2021.
Carley took to Instagram to reveal the news with a shadow image of her showing off her bump alongside the caption: "We can’t wait to meet you." Danny joked about the news in the comments, saying: "Wait. What!?" while other celebs also rushed to congratulate the pair.
Hayley Tamaddon, known for playing Del Dingle in Emmerdale, said: "Ah huge congratulations," while fellow Hollyoaks star Jessica Fox added: "Beautiful news!! Congratulations," with Corrie's Katie Harris icon Lucy-Jo Hudson saying: "How did I not know? Ahhh congratulations babe."
Fans also weighed in adding their own messages of support. One cheekily said: "Been waiting for this announcement since stephen mulhern congratulated you on dancing on ice," with a second commenting: "Congratumalations chicken butty, I am so chuffed for you!!" and a third adding, simply: "Ahhhh huge congratulations beautiful lady!!!"
Carley documented her first pregnancy, flaunting her blossoming baby bump online. In one post she shared her post-workout glow from a gruelling class at 38 weeks pregnant. Dressed in a grey sports bra and a pair of blue hot pants, Carley proudly posed in the mirror as she beamed to the camera while she flexed her muscular arms and toned legs.
Carly also shared her plans to have her placenta made into various body creams and edible gummies which boast several health benefits.
