HOLLYOAKS star Jessica Fox has put her blossoming baby bump on full display ahead of the impending birth.

The actress has played Nancy Hayton for 17 years on the Channel 4 soap opera but will soon be taking a brief step back in order to welcome her own child into the world after two devastating miscarriages.

Jessica looked chic as her huge bump took centre stage in the snap.

The fresh-faced star pouted in the mirror selfie as her trademark bob flowed stylishly.

She gently placed one hand to cup her belly which was on full display below her stripy black and white long-sleeved top.

Jessica captioned the picture: “Bump update: every day I get a little closer to no longer fitting in the shower.”

It will be the star’s first baby with Nicholas Willes after revealing they had suffered two unimaginable losses.

The star confirmed the pair’s news on their expectant arrival, due in spring 2023, in an Instagram post in Baby Loss Awareness Week in October

Jessica heartbreakingly admitted to two previous losses as she wrote: “Nick and I lost two babies in 2021. Both losses were at the end of the first trimester and completely heartbreaking.

“In a cruel twist of fate, when I got pregnant the second time the character I play on Hollyoaks was pregnant too.”

She added that because of her small frame and height, she began to show very quickly and as such did not make use of a fake bump prop on the show.

Jessica then added: “And then I lost the baby.

“On the Friday I had a real bump, on the Monday I was putting on a fake one, it was every bit as horrific as it sounds.

“I tried to keep it a secret and get on with it.”
