Former Holby City star Camilla Arfwedson has announced that she's expecting a baby boy with her husband Jack Hawkins in just a couple of weeks' time.
Talking to Instagram, Camilla posted a picture of herself with a very visible baby bump, writing: "I always thought pregnancy is an incredibly private journey & have resisted sharing mine on social media but with two weeks to go til we meet our little boy I thought why not.
"Plus some incredibly thoughtful pals decided to throw me a 'low key' surprise baby shower which was not low key at all (looking at you @jahjahwalsh @oliwalsh @jasonstraker @jimmyslocum @charlotteelliswatson).

"Just joyful, emotional and completely wonderful in every way. So here’s to celebrating life & all the good things," she added.
The actress has received plenty of well wishes and congratulations since the announcement from fans and colleagues alike, with Jimmy Akingbola writing: “Congratulations to you both."
Meanwhile, Tim Downie wrote: "This is wonderful, wonderful news. Huge amounts of love from us."
Camilla was a regular fixture on Holby City between 2013 and 2017, and then again in 2019, playing Zosia. She also made a one-off return in late 2021, a few months before the medical drama came to an end.
Her husband Jack has featured in shows like Call the Midwife and Raised by Wolves, and also appeared in Holby City himself as Alex Lambert. The couple got married in 2019, holding a small ceremony in London.

In 2021, it was announced that Holby City would come to an end after 23 years "in order to reshape the BBC's drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country".
Since Holby's final scenes aired, three of the stars of the show – Rosie Marcel, Guy Henry and Bob Barrett – reunited for a "fun weekend" getaway.
"Amazing time. Caught up, laughed and drank way too much," Marcel said of their reunion on Instagram, adding: "My lovely friends."
Selected episodes of Holby City are streaming on BBC iPlayer.
