A BRIT TV star has revealed her happy pregnancy news just days after scooping a BAFTA.
The Bolton-born actress, 37, turned the air blue with her very sweary acceptance speech at one of telly's biggest events of the year.
And now comedian Sophie Willan has confirmed she is expecting her first child.
The Alma's Not Normal star took to her Instagram page to share an image of her in a red dress, having dinner with partner Carniel Francis Levy.
They flashed smiles as they posed on opposite sides of their table, which was adorned with a white table cloth and menus and surrounded by flowers.
The snapshot itself gave no hint as to the announcement, before Sophie made the big reveal in her caption and in subsequent pictures showing her scan.
She wrote: "WE’RE HAVING A BABY BOY!
"Coming November 2025. Our lives are about to change forever, in the most chaotic, joyful, and magical way…
"And yes, we’re already arguing about baby names."
SCREEN QUEEN
Sophie has voiced reality show The Circle since 2018.
She has also appeared in person on a number of TV programmes including Still Open All Hours and Click And Collect, and featured on a number of comedy shows including The Tez O Clock Show, Class Dismissed and Live from The Comedy Store.
More recently, she created BBC sitcom Alma's Not Normal, which aired between 2020 and 2024, and was inspired by her own experiences of the care system.
On stage, Sophie's Branded tour was a national sell-out including spending three weeks at SOHO Theatre in London.
She was also named on The Times Best Living Comedians List in 2018.
The mum-to-be claimed the Herald Angel Award in 2017, while also bagging the 2018 BBC Caroline Aherne Bursary title.
FAN SHOCK
Sophie stunned fans - with her sweary acceptance speech cut - at the recent BAFTA ceremony in London.
The star, who took home her second Bafta for Alma's Not Normal, couldn't resist cursing when taking to the stage – though made multiple efforts not to.
The excitable star admitted as she took to the stage: "I'm not allowed to swear and all I want to do is Beep Beep, Bl**dy Beep!!" before attempting to replace swears with something else.
"I just want to say, these lot are flupping brilliant. Blimming fabulous!" she joked.
However, she later slipped up and let a few out.
The offensive words were edited out by the time they made it to broadcast on BBC One.
