The 32-year-old actress - who portrayed Holly Barton in the ITV soap - is expecting her first baby with her partner Mark Waters and she announced the happy news on her Instagram account to her 21,300 followers.
Posting a photo of herself lying on a beach with Mark with her bump on display, she wrote: "And so the adventure of us three begins."
Sophie was soon flooded with congratulatory messages from her followers, including from some of her former 'Emmerdale' co-stars.
Eden Taylor-Draper - who plays Belle Dingle - sent her three orange heart emojis, saying "beautiful".
Tom Lister - who played Carl King - posted three red hearts to wish his one-time castmate well.
'Love Island' host Laura Whitmore also messaged her friend to say "congrats".
Sophie originally played Holly between 2009 and 2012, before returning for a short stint in 2016.
Holly had an eventful time in the Dales as she got hooked on drugs as a teenager, ultimately the character died in heartbreaking final scenes when her mum Moira - played by Natalie J Robb - found her in bed dead from a heroin overdose.
