As she shared the photo on her Instagram page, Camilla revealed she had two weeks to go before she was due to meet her tot.

Camilla also revealed she and her Call The Midwife husband Jamie are expecting a baby boy.

The pregnant actress explained her reason for sharing her pregnancy late on was due to her feeling the time was a private one.

Writing in the caption, Camilla shared: " I always thought pregnancy is an incredibly private journey & have resisted sharing mine on social media but with two weeks to go til we meet our little boy I thought why not.

"Plus some incredibly thoughtful pals decided to throw me a ‘low key’ surprise baby shower which was not low key at all (looking at you @jahjahwalsh @oliwalsh @jasonstraker @jimmyslocum @charlotteelliswatson)

"Just joyful, emotional and completely wonderful in every way. So here’s to celebrating life & all the good things".

Camilla, who also appeared in The Duchess, was met with congratulatory messages from her followers.

Another image showed Camilla sat at a garden table alongside her friends as she gushed: "Loveliest most joyful thing".

Camilla and her actor hubby Jack, who plays dentist Christopher Dockerill in Cal The Midwife, met in 2016 on the set of the hospital drama.

Jack played a patient on the show, who was treated by Camilla's character Zosia.

After dating for three years, Camilla revealed they had tied the knot in 2019 as she told The Sun: "It's nice to be back for a couple of months. I love it on Holby.

"I wanted to try something else. And we also got married. It was a low-key ceremony in London but it was really lovely. It was great."

Camilla and Jack have since left the UK and live in Los Angeles after leaving Holby in 2019.

She did reprise her role for a special appearance in 2021, however.
