Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Christian Contreras as she debuted her bump on the red carpet at the Brit Awards.
Taking to the pre-show at the awards ceremony, the 39 year old wowed in an elegant and gorgeous gown by luxury British brand Cimone.
Jodie made a delicious ice cream treat of a statement in a high necked cream dress, heavily embellished with a hand-beaded orange and white mantle which cascaded down the oversize silhouette.
The stunning ensemble was finished off with some sparkling rings from celebrity-loved brand Lark & Berry and a little black handbag made to look like a 1D6. It’s hard to look this good when you’re that many months along, but Whittaker dazzles.
The obvious reveal is that for the last several weeks of the filming of her final series of Doctor Who, she was, in fact, quite pregnant. Thank goodness for long flowing coats.
The final episode of Doctor Who starring Jodie Whittaker is expected to air this Autumn as part of the BBC Centenary celebrations.

Doctor Who pregnant? I know, it’s not Doctor Who, it’s Jodie Whittaker, and The Doctor isn’t actually called Doctor Who, but still….
I remember when it was announced that a woman would be playing Doctor Who, and I wasn’t all that surprised. There had been several “clues” planted before.
First, there was 1999’s humorous Comic Relief charity outing *Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death* with a surprise appearance as The Doctor by Joanna Lumley.
Then there was one of Matt Smith’s first lines as the just-transformed and still very confused Doctor in 2010 with “I’m a girl?”
Then, of course, was the 2014 appearance of Michelle Gomez as the first female version of The Master, showing the male-female switch was possible with Time Lords.
Who was heavily involved in all three of the above? Steven Moffat. It’s ironic he wasn’t the showrunner when The Doctor himself became The Doctor herself.
