'Emmerdale' star Charlotte Bellamy is struggling to hide her baby bump on screen.

The actress - who plays Laurel Thomas in the ITV soap - is expecting her third child with partner Mungo Denison but says as her stomach grows it's getting more difficult to conceal it.

She said: "My main challenge during filming is hiding my bump - I keep walking with bags in front of me and have to breathe in!"

Charlotte - whose second pregnancy was written into 'Emmerdale' scripts - plans to start her maternity leave next month.

Charlotte is not the only soap star to struggle with hiding her baby bump.

'Coronation Street' star Samia Smith - who is expecting her first baby with husband Matthew Smith - recently said she needed to get a bigger handbag to disguise her ever-growing stomach.

My main challenge during filming is hiding my bump - I keep walking with bags in front of me and have to breathe in!

She said: "I'm using my handbag a lot, put it that way. It needs to be a bit bigger, though - I might have to go out and buy a new one. The clothes aren't working as well as I thought they would!"
