EastEnders' Louisa Lytton shares sweet snaps with baby Aura four months on from birth

Louisa Lytton has been sharing a series of adorable pictures of herself and her four-month-old daughter Aura on social media.

The EastEnders star, 32, welcomed her first child into the world in last year - enduring a 'scary' three-day labour before giving birth to her daughter on 30 August.

Writing on Instagram on Thursday, the former Strictly Come Dancing star call her baby girl her 'bff' as she cuddled her to the young tot for some heartwarming snaps.

One adorable snap saw the soap star hold her daughter's hand to her mouth - planting a kiss on the four-month-old as they posed for the camera.

Another sweet image involved the mother-and-daughter duo giggling away as they relaxed amongst children's toys for the snaps.

Louisa looked radiant and naturally beautiful as she posed without a scrap of make-up on, while her baby daughter's big blue eyes glistened for the camera.

"Gorgeous girls," pal and EastEnders co-star Lacey Turner commented underneath the cute collection of snaps.

"Twinning here babe," one fan quipped, noting the star's resemblance to her baby girl.

Louisa required an emergency c-section when welcomed her first child into the world with fiancé Ben Bhanvra last year.

The Ruby Allen actress had originally planned a water birth using hypnobirthing techniques but her painful labour didn't go to plan.

She "laboured at home for 14 hours before going in" to Barnet hospital, where her waters had to be broken.

Daughter Aura eventually arrived on 30 August, weighing 6lbs 5oz.

"The birth wasn’t what I planned," the mum-of-one told OK! in October.

"I really wanted a water birth and we did a hypnobirthing course, but at the same time I wasn’t married to the idea because I know sometimes it doesn’t go to plan, so I was open to whatever was safest."

The soap star - who first joined the cast of EastEnders back in 2005 - went on to praise partner Ben for his support during the traumatic experience.

"The fact Ben was standing up for three days helping to get me through was incredible," she recalled to the publication.

"It definitely brings you even closer together because it’s an experience like no other."

Since becoming parents, Ben - who works in digital marketing - and Louisa have scaled back their wedding plans.

"We want to get married next year. We’re planning to have the wedding abroad and we’re going to do something smaller than we originally planned," Louisa told the Sunday Mirror in October.

"It will be different now she’s here. We’re a family now, so it might not be as wild as it was going to be. But we can’t wait to get married."

Explaining that their priorities have changed since Aura joined the family, the actress added: ""Everything we were going to put into the wedding we ended up buying a house with. And now I’ve had a baby, I’m not working, so it’s just changed our priorities."
