Soap star Paula Lane is pregnant.
The 39-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Kylie Platt in Coronation Street - has taken to social media to announce that she's expecting her third child.
Alongside cards informing her son and daughter that they are set to become big siblings, Paula wrote on Instagram: "Some special news to share from us @sirtomshaw.
"Christmas just got a bit more magical. Our baby boy due December 2025. (sic)"
Paula and her husband Tom Shaw already have two children - Arthur and Penny - together. The loved-up couple - who have been married since 2014 - welcomed Arthur at home on New Year's Eve in 2014, while Penny was born in July 2016.
Paula previously took a career break in order to focus on her family life.
The actress quit Coronation Street back in 2016, because she wanted to spend more time at home with her family.
Paula told OK! magazine at the time: "I think it's got to be a clean break, I don't think I'm going to take anything.
"I have to put Kylie in a box, literally. I think that's the healthiest option."
The soap felt that taking a break was a "natural" thing to do at that point in her life.
She said: "I feel like I've got to nurture this new baby. Arthur only had 11 weeks with me before I went back to work. I've done six years of solid work so I think I owe it to myself to have a natural break."
At the time, Paula was still receiving work offers - but she was determined to focus on her young family.

The actress - who is also known for playing Ella Forster on Emmerdale - shared: "There have been a couple of offers of work already, but I feel like it's too soon.
"If anything amazing comes up I'd have to take another look at my plan."

B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've ‘never seen' before selling for £1
It comes as other unusual Snickers flavours have been spotted at the discount retailer RARE TREAT B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've 'never seen' before selling for £1 B&M shoppers have spotted a rare flavour of Snickers selling for £1. Customers were surprised to see coffee flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store. 3 Coffee flavoured Snickers bars Credit: Facebook 3 The bars were spotted at B&M for £1 Credit: Instagram/@newsfoodsuk Posting on the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official, a user wrote: "Not sure if these are new, but in B&M and I've never seen this flavour!" One user wrote: "I've been meaning to check out B&M for ages now and this might just be the push I need to go." Another added: "Imported from Australia, I had them over there and so so good I'll need to head to B&M." "I will be trying these," a third wrote. The bar sells for up to £2.99 at online retailers like Bombon and Candy Mail UK - nearly triple its price at B&M. The unusual chocolate bar appears to be a rare find, currently unavailable in other major UK supermarkets. The company Mars Incorporated launched Coffee Snickers back in February, with fans describing it as a bittersweet twist on their classic peanut, caramel and chocolate combo. The controversial new flavour comes after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes. Shoppers learned of the release through NewfoodsUK on Instagram. The bar divided opinions with one user calling it a "win-win" and another saying it was "disgusting". YoCrunch Yogurt Recall: Sharp Plastic in Candy Toppers Prompts Nationwide Warning Mars Wrigley Research & Development director Chris Hutton said: 'We know how much Aussies love their coffee, and after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes, we're excited to bring this new twist on Snickers to life. 'Snickers Coffee Flavour is a proudly Australian-made product, formulated by our local team in Ballarat to deliver on both taste and sustainability, and we can't wait for fans to try it.' It comes after B&M shoppers spotted almond flavoured Snickers at the bargain store. The bar, containing almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, was launched in the US six years ago. But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find. Shoppers at B&M also previously spotted a brownie Snickers, which was another hit in the US. The Snickers bar was introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930 and was named after the Mars family's favourite horse, Snickers. For decades, the bar was sold in the UK and Ireland under the name "Marathon" before being changed to Snickers in 1990. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
