The former 'Hollyoaks' actress has taken to her Instagram account to show off a picture of her baby bump, and revealed she is due to give birth in January.

She wrote: "For the first time - maybe in my life - I can't wait for January!! (sic)"

Susie's 'Hollyoaks' co-star Gary Lucy couldn't resist a little quip about fathering her baby.
