It’s the actress’ first child with her new fiancee – freelance EastEnders cameraman Marc Humphreys.

Natalie – best known to audiences as trumpet-playing busybody Sonia Fowler – announced the news last night.

She wrote: 'Evening all… Time to let everybody know that @cameramarc and I are having a baby in the summer. The three musketeers become four.’

Her Albert Square co-star Matt Di'angelo – who plays the dastardly Dean Wicks – was one of the first to congratulate the soap star, tweeting: ‘This makes me very very happy. Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!! XXX’.

Natalie’s pal Denise Welch also wrote: Huge congratulations to @Nat_Cassidy and @cameramarc on their pregnancy!!!! So pleased xxx’.

Natalie already has a daughter Eliza, who she shares with her former partner Adam Cotrell. The couple split in 2013 after a tumultuous few years together during which he admitted assaulting her twice.

However, the actress and weight-loss wonder went on to find love last year with cameraman Marc, who works on the hit BBC1 show with her.

The couple then got engaged in October.
