EMMERDALE fans were left seriously distracted by actress Georgia Jay as she flaunted her baby bump on screen.
The star, who plays Steph Milligan, in the ITV soap opera is currently expecting her first child in real life and has been doing all she can to hide her bump from view on-screen.
However, viewers of the show were left distracted when Georgia‘s bump could be seen in full view by all to see.
During a scene in the cafe, Steph could be seen wearing an over-shirt as well as carrying a huge bag which she conveniently placed over her stomach.
However, as she stood up to leave her table, she failed to keep the bag above her stomach which left her huge bump on full display.
It caused fans to quickly react as some were left confused if Steph was also supposed to be pregnant in the show.
Whilst Steph is not currently believed to be pregnant, others wondered if it was due to be included in an upcoming storyline.
Writing on X, one viewer said: “I am so confused right now. Actress playing Steph is pregnant IRL, but I’m not sure if her character is supposed to be pregnant as well.”
Another added: “Not doing a very good job of hiding Steph’s bump there are they? Unless they’re going to include it in a storyline..”
A third then penned: “They are clearly making no attempt to hide the fact that Steph is about to make her exit for Mat leave very soon!”
Before a fourth commented: “Steph is hiding her pregnancy well. Well sort of, with bags and laptops.”
Steph joined the show late last year and has seen her storylines reveal that her biological father is the man that she believed was her grandfather, Anthony Fox.
Anthony fathered Steph after he raped his own daughter Ruby whilst she was a teenager in a horrifying pattern of sexual abuse.
Georgia is due to exit Emmerdale later this year owing to her pregnancy.
A source said: “Everyone’s thrilled for Georgia and can’t wait to see her back when she’s ready.
“Steph’s exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion.
“But with Anthony’s body still out there, there’s a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.”
Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy last month after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen.
