EastEnders’ Louisa Lytton tenderly cups her baby bump as she stuns in a floral maxi dress on a walk

EastEnders actress Louisa Lytton affectionately held her baby bump on Thursday as she ventured out on a dog walk in a floral dress.

The pregnant star, 32, looked as radiant as ever in the strappy number which she paired with a yellow bandeau top. 

Opting for practical footwear, she sported New Balance trainers while protecting her eyes with rounded sunglasses.

Her brunette tresses were tucked up in a voluminous bun, kept firmly in place with a satin yellow scrunchie. 

The soap star wore soft make-up as she lovingly looked at her pooch while holding her tummy.  

Louisa revealed on Mother’s Day that she and her fiancé Ben Bhanvra are expecting their first child together.

The EastEnders star took to Instagram to make the announcement as she unveiled her baby bump in a heartwarming video.

Scored with Stevie Wonder’s classic track As, the screen star’s fun-filled footage showed the card she’d sent to her own mother, which read: ‘Just a little note to say, there’s a baby on the way.’

Their announcement video included footage of dad-to-be Ben reading a pregnancy book, while their adorable pet pooch sported a neckerchief, which read: ‘My parents are getting me a human.’

However, Louisa’s growing baby bump soon stole the show, when she lifted her floral patterned shirt to show it off in all its burgeoning glory.

Wearing high-waisted grey elasticated bottoms,  the north London native playfully pointed at her baby bump in faux shock before wiggling her waist.

She also showed off the Mother’s Day cards and flowers she had received, with one card praising her as a ‘bloomin’ beautiful mum-to-be’.

Captioning the footage, Louisa paid tribute to her own mother, as she wrote: ‘Dear Mum, If I am a fraction of the mother you are, I know I’ll be the best.

‘You have held my hand for 32 years, you have taught me right from wrong, corrected my spelling, and helped me see the light at the end of every single tunnel.

‘And now you will guide me to becoming a mummy. (Just try not to move yourself in or Ben might leave) ❤️ 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.’

And in March, Louisa revealed she was drinking tequila the night before finding out she was pregnant in a hilarious Loose Women interview.

The actress  said she was now ‘feeling fine’ after getting through the first trimester, which saw her eat junk food ‘non-stop.’  

She said: ‘I’m fine, I’m through the hurdle of the first 12 weeks. I feel a lot better now. We found out on Boxing Day. And I was drinking tequila the night before!’ 

‘I was just non stop eating junk food for 12 weeks. I’d have dinner and then go for a drive-thru straight away afterwards. My appetite went crazy but it’s coming back down now though which is good. ‘   

The star also discussed her current soap storyline mirroring her real life, saying: ‘It was a strange time I found out I was pregnant and knew I was going back to film being pregnant.  

‘I was more stressed as it was at the forefront of my mind. I told the bosses early on. My character’s endometriosis story was important to me. I didn’t want it to be put on hold. She is diagnosed this week, and that’s where the complications come from.’
