In a New Year’s Eve post, she disclosed that she actually gave birth to her baby girl that same month.

The black and white image depicted her cradling her little girl by a window, with the baby gazing outside while Georgia nuzzled against her.

The actress appeared joyful and content, dressed in a striped shirt with her hair styled back in a clip.

She captioned the photo: “Nora” accompanied by a red rose emoji, and added “June 2025.”

Georgia was quickly inundated with congratulatory messages from her co-stars, with Beth Cordingly – who plays her on-screen mother Ruby – commenting: “You are perfect, and so is she. Love you x.”

Laura Norton, who portrays Kerry Wyatt, chimed in with: “Yay congrats gorgeous” along with three red heart emojis.

Meanwhile, Michelle Hardwick – who plays Vanessa Woodfield – wrote: “Gorgeous” and added a red heart emoji.

Back in June, Georgia shared images of her baby bump to announce her pregnancy and wrote alongside them: “As you may have guessed, I have some news to share!

“I know some of you have noticed a little bump on screen lately… well, it's not your imagination... I’m expecting a baby.

“We’ve never been this excited and a bit nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support.”
