The 28-year-old actress, who is known for playing mouthy mother Kylie Platt in the ITV soap, has announced she is expecting her first child with her husband Tom Shaw and is due to welcome the tiny tot into the world in December.
The brunette beauty took to her Twitter account this afternoon (05.06.14) to share the happy news with her fans, tweeting: "@SirTomShaw and I are thrilled to announce we have a Christmas pud in the oven! SURPRISE! (sic)".
Paula was inundated with congratulatory messages from her colleagues and a number of adoring fans after the news broke.
