A third added: “Big congratulations to you both. Welcome to the world your little grape.”

And someone else added: “Aww, that’s wonderful news. Many congratulations.”

Alexandra and Darren met in May last year and announced their exciting news that they were expecting in February.

And although Alexandra – who is busy preparing for the touring production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat – is entering a big new chapter, she has said she will take minimal maternity leave.

The star, who plays the show’s narrator, told The Sun recently: “I will be back for Joseph in the middle of September in Milton Keynes. It’s so close.

“I know two months may not seem like a lot of maternity leave but I think it’s right for me.

“Baby will always come first but I feel anything is possible with planning.”

She explained that taking a whole year off wasn’t what she wanted to do, adding that she was “confident” she could make being a mum work in her busy professional schedule.
