'You absolute beauty….. BUMPALISHOUS BABY!!!!' wrote Lisa Riley, while Bradley Riches said: 'CONGRATS XXX LOVE YOU!'
Fans had noticed Georgia's bump in recent scenes from the soap and had been speculating online as to whether she was pregnant.
They wrote on X, formerly Twitter: 'Is Steph pregnant or is the actress pregnant?'; 'Am i the only one who knew georgia jay was pregnant months ago?,';
'Steph will be going soon. Heard on the grapevine that she' s pregnant (in real life). Pleased to hear it and best wishes but so glad we could soon be having a break from Steph (the character),';

'Is Steph Milligan (Georgia Jay) Pregnant?,'; 'Is Steph pregnant in real life,';
'Wondering if anyone else noticed that Steph looked pregnant, or was it just me?,';
'Is the Actress playing Steph pregnant, or just wearing a large jacket with tissue stuff in the pockets?'
As she joined ITV's Emmerdale in November, Georgia said: 'I am thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale.
'The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I'm very excited to see what lies ahead for Steph, given her intriguing backstory.'
But Georgia landed a part in a twisted Hollywood horror film before securing her place on the ITV soap.
Back in 2015, she played Jennifer in Lake Placid vs Anaconda, a comedy horror crossover of the Anaconda film series and Lake Placid film series.
In the film, Georgia's character Stephanie strips down to a bikini as she and a group of other girls run through a forest to escape the huge anaconda.
The film also starred Corin Nemec, Yancy Butler, Skye Lourie and Robert Englund.

The 90-minute flick didn't receive the best reception, scoring just 21 out 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.
It also only managed to reach 14 per cent on the film rating websites 'Popcornmeter'.
Critics called it a 'made-for-cable genre film' and other reviewers said that everything about it 'sucks, especially the CGI'.
Georgia's other pre-Emmerdale gigs included playing Diane Vickers in 2019 BBC drama series Giri/Haji - which only lasted one season.
She also landed minor parts in Glow and Darkness in 2021, as well as The Devil Sits on Both Shoulders in 2018.

Moment drunken yobs spark emergency at 30,000 feet by refusing to stop vaping - forcing plane to turn back an hour into flight
Two drunken yobs caused a plane to return to the UK an hour into their flight as they refused to stop vaping in their seats. Police were called to Stansted Airport, where they waited for a Jet2 flight bound for Heraklion in Crete to return to London. Families were left extremely frustrated that the two men who were 'drunk as skunks' were allowed on board before take-off. Passengers said the pair started drinking alcohol after the scheduled 5.55am departure on Tuesday was delayed. Once the flight took off, pilots were forced to declare an emergency an hour into the flight and turn back to Stansted Airport. Footage shows the moment officers rushed onto the twin-jet Airbus A321 at 9.36am to cheers from passengers on he plane to detain the duo. One of the men was arrested after he was allegedly carrying cocaine and MDMA. Angry passengers let out their frustrations as one woman tells the men to 'get off!' while another shouts 'loser! before describing the pair as 'f****** b***ends!'. 'Do not get on a flight if you cannot control your drink!', another says before adding 'we love you police - thank you!'. However, one passenger was able to crack a joke as she quipped, 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' following the viral ad campaign starring pop star Jess Glynne. The duo, one of whom was wearing a back-to-front black baseball cap, ignored a cockpit announcement that warned that if they didn't stop vaping, the flight would have to return to the UK, one passenger revealed. The passenger said: 'On the flight the duo were so obnoxious. They began vaping, then kicked off when told to stop smoking. 'They couldn't understand or care just how dangerous it was for everyone on the plane. A source told The Sun: 'Passengers were livid. Everyone was looking forward to the start of the holiday.' They added: 'There were lots of kids on the plane and the airline should not allow these lunatics to spoil hard earned holidays.' The holidaymakers on the plane had to wait at Stansted Airport throughout the day for a service that evening that could take them on the four-hour journey to Greece. It is understood that Jet2 gave passengers a £10 voucher to be redeemed in WHSmith at Stansted. The airline has confirmed that a passenger has been handed a life ban as they described the behaviour as 'disgraceful' and 'aggressive'. A Jet2 spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that a customer has been issued with a lifetime ban following a catalogue of disgraceful and aggressive behaviour, which led to flight LS1577 from London Stansted to Crete Heraklion having to return to Stansted so that police could offload them. 'We would like to thank the police and our crew for their handling of this difficult situation. 'As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour and we will fully support the authorities with any subsequent investigation, including prosecutions and pursuing civil proceedings if necessary.' An Essex Police spokesman said: 'We were called at around 8.40am on Tuesday 5 August to reports of a disruptive passenger on board a flight bound for Greece. 'Officers were alerted to the flight's imminent return to Stansted Airport and detained two passengers for searches. 'A man, aged in his 20s, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was taken into custody after a quantity of suspected Class A drugs was found. 'He has since been released under investigation.' The second passenger was detained by officers for a stop and search but was not arrested.

Police officer rescues swan in ‘Hot Fuzz' moment
A police officer had a 'Hot Fuzz moment' when rescuing a wandering swan from the middle of a Colchester road. Essex Police 's heritage and wildlife crime officer PC Jed Raven, who likened the job to the popular British action film, was called out to move the bird on Monday. 'It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but I knew I had to wing it,' PC Raven said. The force said it had been returned safely. British actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost chased a missing swan as two police officers in the 2007 film set in the fictional town of Sandford. In the iconic scene, Mr Pegg plays bored police officer Nicholas Angel and is called in to track down the missing bird. Essex Police said: "The swan is now back to swanning about in its natural habitat, and PC Raven is officially the beak-on of community safety." In October 2023, three police officers were called in to escort a lost swan in Bath's city centre after it caused a flap among shoppers. Avon and Somerset officers appeared to handle the situation more smoothly than Constable Angel as three officers moved the bird on towards the nearby River Avon. One used a fluorescent police jacket to gently usher the wayward swan towards the river as shoppers pulled out their phones to snap the scene. Local Simon Galloway, 49, said: 'I was just out shopping with my wife and daughter – and we noticed a bit of commotion outside the shop. 'That was when we saw a cygnet being escorted down the street – presumably down to the river. There were loads of shoppers around, everyone had their phones out, laughing.'

Rod Stewart's controversial AI tribute of Ozzy Osbourne with late stars including Michael Jackson, Prince and Amy Winehouse sparks backlash from fans who claim rocker's performance was a 'disgusting new low'
Rod Stewart 's controversial AI tribute of Ozzy Osbourne posing with late stars has sparked backlash from fans who claim the rocker's performance was a 'new low'. The Scottish singer, 80, who is currently on tour, displayed a bizarre AI-generated video earlier this week which showed Ozzy in heaven taking selfies with other late, legendary singers. Celebrities included Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Prince, XXXTentacion, Tina Turner and Bob Marley. Fans have shared their disgust on X over the last few days after discovering the 'disrespectful' clip. Comments read: 'This is bizarre for many reasons, not the least of which being the fact that Rod Stewart has performed with Ozzy Osbourne. 'Instead of blasting AI images of Ozzy in heaven, they could show this real & quite lovely picture of Rod Stewart with his arm around the actual Ozzy Osbourne', 'Rod Stewart could've literally just put up a photo of him with Ozzy, instead of this weird AI video', 'This is… definitely a choice. Rod Stewart using AI to show Ozzy in heaven with dead celebs? Wild, weird, and kinda hauntingly poetic', 'I hope several estates of several artists that are no longer here. SUE ROD STEWART! That was disgusting, and pathetic. Using Ai for their likeness at your concert. Without permission. SMDH!' Adding to the tribute, Rod reportedly told the crowd after the performance: 'Very sad. A lot of those people died 'cause of drugs… I'm still here, though!' Not everyone was offended, however, with one user posting: 'This is such a beautiful video. One that makes you think that he has reunited by legendary musicians who we have lost. 'There's not a single ounce of disrespect in it. There's already a bunch of videos that have been made following his passing with musicians, Jesus, with his dogs / cats, on bikes with bat wings but this one is the best version I've seen so far. 'Why the hate. People would criticise anything till they can criticise Thank you Rod ❤️HATE THE WAR not a peaceful happy video'. Another added: 'Distasteful, yes. Do I hate it? No. The gesture is coming from a good place, but it could have been done in a better way. Fans have shared their disgust on X over the last few days after discovering the 'disrespectful' clip While many had feared that Ozzy's family would be offended by the video, after its release, the late star's official account reposted a tribute shared by Rod on July 22 'I would have preferred it each each of their pictures get added one by one to a group picture like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band.' While many had feared that Ozzy's family would be offended by the video, after its release, the late star's official account reposted a tribute shared by Rod on July 22. The post read: 'Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there — later rather than sooner.'
