EMMERDALE fans were left seriously distracted by actress Georgia Jay as she flaunted her baby bump on screen.

However, viewers of the show were left distracted when Georgia's bump could be seen in full view by all to see.
During a scene in the cafe, Steph could be seen wearing an over-shirt as well as carrying a huge bag which she conveniently placed over her stomach.
However, as she stood up to leave her table, she failed to keep the bag above her stomach which left her huge bump on full display.
It caused fans to quickly react as some were left confused if Steph was also supposed to be pregnant in the show.
Whilst Steph is not currently believed to be pregnant, others wondered if it was due to be included in an upcoming storyline.
Writing on X, one viewer said: "I am so confused right now. Actress playing Steph is pregnant IRL, but I'm not sure if her character is supposed to be pregnant as well."
Another added: "Not doing a very good job of hiding Steph's bump there are they? Unless they're going to include it in a storyline.."
A third then penned: "They are clearly making no attempt to hide the fact that Steph is about to make her exit for Mat leave very soon!"
Before a fourth commented: "Steph is hiding her pregnancy well. Well sort of, with bags and laptops."
Steph joined the show late last year and has seen her storylines reveal that her biological father is the man that she believed was her grandfather, Anthony Fox.

Anthony fathered Steph after he raped his own daughter Ruby whilst she was a teenager in a horrifying pattern of sexual abuse.
Georgia is due to exit Emmerdale later this year owing to her pregnancy.
A source said: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready.
'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion.
'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.'
Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy last month after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen.

The charming Deep South city with movie-star good looks
Positioned around a series of garden squares, Savannah is one of those rare US cities that is easy to explore on foot. Built in 1733 as the capital of the thirteenth American colony established by Britain, Georgia's oldest settlement survived the Revolutionary and Civil wars — and still manages to look radiant. With its oil lamps, ornamental ironwork and oak trees dripping with spooky Spanish moss, it's so quintessentially Southern that Hollywood loves it, having used it as a location for plenty of films, including Forrest Gump. But there's more to this Southern beauty than magnolia-scented boulevards and wraparound verandas. Take a guided tour of its mansions and you'll unearth tales of ghosts and pirates. Wander the 18th-century harbourfront and you'll find paddle steamers, jazz cruises and dolphins. Head to the nearby barrier islands and you'll swap cobbled streets for the gorgeous beach used in the Baywatch film. • Morning: Green-Meldrim House• Eat at: the Lost Square• Afternoon: First African Baptist Church• Drink at: Better than Sex• Evening: Savannah Hauntings Ghost Tour• Dinner: Common Restaurant • Morning: Tybee Island• Eat at: the Olde Pink House• Afternoon: Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters• Drink at: Congress Street Up• Evening: Savannah Riverboat Cruises• Dinner: Fleeting • Savannah is full of grand homes offering guided tours, but none charts the American story quite like the gothic-revival Green-Meldrim House. General Sherman of the Union Army made it his HQ while he burnt his way across the Confederate South; the future of newly emancipated slaves was first planned here; and one of its most scandalous residents made the iconic pink suit worn by Jackie Kennedy when her husband was shot (£12; • Jingle Bells, Methodism and the I Have a Dream speech all have origins in the pretty chapels of Savannah. But you should also check out the unassuming First African Baptist Church.

It's a 16-mile drive (about £25 by taxi) to the pier, crab shacks and dune-flanked lighthouse of Tybee Island.
