Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page is pregnant with her fourth child, with her family expanding just in time for the festive season.
The BBC star posted a photo of herself flaunting her growing baby bump as she posed in a stunning white maxi dress and a khaki jacket to share the news on Instagram.
Posting to her 83,000 followers, Joanna flashed a smile as she wrote: “Well this is a surprise! Baby number four on the way. It’s going to be a busy Christmas.”
As she shared the news, she immediately hit 14,000 likes within the first hour as her friends were quick to send their messages of congratulations.

Charley Webb, Denise Van Outen and Catherine Tyldesley were some of the many celebs to share their love towards Joanna as she shared her happy news.
Joanna and her husband James Thornton, who she married in 2003, already have three children together.
They had their first born, Eva, in 2013, with sons Kit and Noah following in 2015 and 2016 respectively – and now their fourth child will be born towards the end of 2021.
Joanna’s news comes after she admitted to The Sun that the first national lockdown put a strain on her marriage and the pair argued a lot.

However, they came out of the other side once their children was able to return to school. She said: “I’m sure all parents found it really difficult during lockdown.
“You’re with the children so much, and then at night-time they all just wanted to sleep in bed with us.”
She recalled how the kids going back to school was a “godsend” because she could talk with her husband again and could “fancy him”.
As life returned to normal their relationship did too, and Joanna was able to get back to work, which, most recently, has seen her join Melanie Sykes to present on Shop Well For Less.
