Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick has shared a set of lovely photos with her co-stars while she takes maternity leave.
The Vanessa Woodfield actress welcomed her second baby, a girl named Betty, with wife Kate Brooks in November, and has been taking time away from the soap.
Over the last week or so, the actress has been visited by some of her Emmerdale colleagues, including Paddy Dingle actor Dominic Brunt, who she said always brings "guaranteed fun and laughter".

She also shared pictures with Lydia Dingle actress Karen Blick, whom she spent a "beautiful morning" with.
Michelle revealed that she enjoyed a "gorgeous evening" with Olivia Bromley (Dawn Fletcher) and Natalie Ann Jamieson (Amy Wyatt) too, and a day with former star "Auntie Fi" Fiona Wade (Priya Kotecha).

Last year when she announced the baby's birth, Michelle wrote: "Introducing Betty Brooks to the world. Betty made a cheeky early appearance on Tuesday 15th November weighing 5lb 10ozs. We all love you so much our beautiful Betty B."
Michelle and Kate announced last July that they were expecting a child together, later confirming the baby's sex on Loose Women and also revealing that their two children share the same biological dad.

"We didn't know with Teddy, we thought the whole way through that Teddy was a little girl," she said at the time.
"We never had the scan or anything. And then I had imagined us with two boys but it's a little girl."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
