Helen Flanagan has confirmed that she is pregnant.
The former Corrie star is expecting a baby with her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair next year.
Pictures in The Sun showed the actress wearing a bikini on a beach in Dubai, sporting what looks like a tiny baby bump.
A friend told the paper: โItโs a much-wanted pregnancy which makes it all the sweeter.
โHelen is so thrilled. She was bursting with excitement.โ
Helenโs announcement comes not long after she told fans she wasnโt feeling well โ which might have been the first clue that the 24-year-old was pregnant.
Helenโs former co-star Brooke Vincent tweeted her congratulations.
