Back in June, Georgia shared pictures of her bump to announce her pregnancy, and wrote alongside them: “As you’ve probably guessed, I’ve got some news to share!
“I know some of you have been wondering if you’ve been seeing a little bump on screen lately… well, it’s not your imagination…I’m having a baby.
“We’ve never been so excited and a little nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support.”
Georgia keeps her private life largely off social media, instead her Instagram grid features shots of her filming on location, nature snaps and artsy photos from holiday locations.
Viewers had indeed noticed her bump on-screen before the announcement was made and speculation had been rife online.
Steph was last seen in Emmerdale in early August, when she decided to go to Rome.
She had just reunited with Ross Barton, but after discovering he had slept with Manpreet Sharma, she decided to call it quits.
However, she did promise mum Ruby she would return in the future.
