JESS Smith, who is better known to her fans as the original Sun baby from the Telletubies, has given an adordable life update not long after announcing her pregnancy.
The star, from Kent, recently delighted fans after revealing she was expecting her first baby with partner Ricky.
Jess, who is now in her mid-20s, is well-known to those who watched the cult classic TV programme the Telletubies, where she apppeared as the giggling baby in the sun.
The show, a firm favourite for many children back then, ran between 1997 and 2001 – although it was rebooted around 2014.
Since then, Jess, who greeted fans during every episode of the kids’ programme, has also grown up and has now shared a little update on her life as a mum-to-be.
Taking to Instagram, where her page has over 9k followers, the childhood star revealed that the couple had enjoyed one last holiday before becoming parents.
”Last holiday as two. Loved exploring,” Jess wrote in her post, adding the duo had gone to Denmark.
Jess and Ricky looked as happy as ever, posing for a cheeky selfie by a window, as they made the most of their time-off.
And fans of the star were quick to share their delight in the comment section, where one said the hadn’t changed one bit.
”Those trademark cheeks!! I tried to pinch them through the screen when I was just six years old (when the show first aired) and would squeal with delight when you did.
”Bet your little one will be just as adorable.”
Someone else chimed in: ”God bless your life. You really lighten a lot of lifes with your smile.”

A mum wrote: ”Aww. My daughter just began watching teletubbies . And I was.”
”Congratulations on your pregnancy,” a fourth penned.
After returning from their getaway, Jess revealed she was now on a lenghty movie marathon watching the cult classic, Harry Potter.
”No better feeling than snuggling up under a blanket rewatching the Harry Potter series.
”Anyone else rewatch Harry Potter in the Autumn?”
The Teletubbies, documenting the goings-on of the adorable creatures Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La-la and Po in Teletubbyland, was created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport in 1997.
Jess previously opened up to BBC South East about how she landed the golden gig which would then make her famous – and according to her, it was all down to a chance encounter.
“I was being weighed at the hospital,” she recalled.
“My mum took me and it just happened to be the same time that the producer of the old series had come in and wanted the hospital to get in contact with them if they’d seen any smiley babies.”
She also added that while filming, her dad would sit behind the camera playing with toys and race cars in order to get her to do the famous giggle.
“I used to hide it but after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I’ve gained the confidence to come out with it.”
“I am the sun from the ‘Teletubbies’,” she proudly confirmed.
“Everyone says they can see the likeness between my face now and me as a baby.
“I still have a baby face. I haven’t changed much either. I am still giggly.”
