Congratulations are in order for Hollyoaks star Kirsty-Leigh Porter who has announced she's six months pregnant with her first child. The 29-year-old actress, who plays Leela Lomax on the Channel 4 soap, confirmed the exciting news to OK! magazine - revealing that she's actually SIX MONTHS pregnant!
Kirsty-Leigh, who has played Leela on the soap since 2013, is engaged to her partner of three years Paul, who she began dating after splitting from Emmerdale star Danny Miller after five years.
She admitted to the publication, "We’re really, really happy. You just feel everything at once."
Kirsty went on to gush about her fiancé by saying, "Something just clicks. If you’re in a relationship and it’s not working then you find yourself having to try.
"With him, it’s just not like that. We make an effort but it’s not hard work – it’s just so natural and effortless."

The TV star admitted that although they've "not made any plans" about their big day it seems Paul is eager to tie the knot because he "get in these little love bubbles sometimes, saying, 'I just want to marry you now'."
Congratulations to the family!
Although Kirsty hasn't posted anything on social media about her pregnancy, she has shown her support for her Hollyoaks co-star, Malique Thompson-Dwyer, who arrived in the jungle yesterday as part of the winning team, meaning that they were able to take up residence in the luxury camp, Croc Creek.
