Pregnant Nikki Sanderson showed off her growing bump as she attended a Mum and Me app event in Cheshire on Thursday.
The actress, 41, who is expecting her first child with her partner Anthony Quinlan, wore a figure hugging, grey midi dress.
She teamed her outfit with a pair of trainers and layered over a long wool coat as she arrived hand-in-hand with Anthony.
Posing for photos before heading inside, Nikki cradled her tummy and smiled for the camera.
The soapstar was joined at the event by swimmer Rebecca Adlington and her husband Andy Parsons as well as Steps star Lee Latchford-Evans and his wife Kerry-Lucy.
Nikki announced in December that she was expecting her first child and recently predicted the gender of her child in an Instagram clip.

Pointing to either girl or boy during the clip, Nikki shared that she has been craving sweet food, is experiencing morning sickness, is carrying low, is clumsy when it comes to balancing, and has the 'pregnancy glow'.
Asking fans to share their predictions, she captioned the post: 'Boy or Girl? Which do you think we are having? #boy #girl #prediction #guess #oldwivestales.'
The actress announced the incredible news in a figure-hugging red dress, where she debuted her bump.
Sharing a sweet video of a Christmas tree on Instagram, the pair zoomed in on a bauble which had an image of a baby scan.
The caption simply read: 'Happy Christmas from the 3 of us', alongside a Christmas tree emoji.
They also wrote: 'Baby Quinlan due 2026' with a heart emoji after the former Emmerdale star felt her bump, and the couple embraced in a kiss.

She said: 'We're happy to say it's going to be a lovely little spring baby.'
