EastEnders’ Louisa Lytton is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Ben Bhanvra
EastEnders' actress Louisa Lytton is expecting her first baby with her fiancé Ben Bhanvra.
Congratulations are in order, because Louisa Lytton has shared her exciting pregnancy news on Instagram.
The EastEnders actress - who plays Ruby Allen on the soap - confirmed she is going to be a mum with a sweet video featuring her fiancé Ben Bhanvra.
The Mother's Day clip sees her opening a letter which reads: "Just a little note to say... There's a baby on the way!"
Louisa and Ben can be seen hugging and pointing to a baby bump, while Ben also reads a book about parenting.
The couple's adorable dog Riley even makes an appearance, with the puppy wearing a neckerchief with the message: "My parents are getting me a human".
Alongside the video, 32-year-old Louisa shared a message to her own mum, writing: “If I am a fraction of the mother you are, I know I'll be the best.

She added: “Happy Mother’s Day All, to those that are here, that are not with us in person but with us every moment and to those on a journey.”
