Hollyoaks' Rachel Adedeji shows off her gorgeous baby bump at the Inside Soap Awards
It's been a busy few days for the mum-to-be
She's going to have the most exciting Christmas ever with a December 27 due date, but mummy-in-waiting Rachel Adedeji has already been in party mode the last couple of days.
First up was her baby shower, thrown by her buddies in Liverpool, and obviously mega appreciated by the former X-Factor star, who shared on Instagram that she was 'one happy mama and full of delish cake'.
(And, where, if our eyes do not deceive us (check out the sheets in front of the ladies at the table), they played the hilariously naughty 'labour or porn' game, where you have to guess whether the woman pictured is in the middle of childbirth or - errr - something else!!
Next stop was the Inside Soap Awards in London, where Rachel walked the red carpet in a show-stopping caped bodycon dress which made her 8 months' pregnant bump look a-m-a-z-i-n-g. (we're not smarting with envy, honest).
Rachel announced she and her partner Jason Finnegan were expecting back in August, when she was already 5 months along.

The actress - who plays Lisa Loveday in Hollyoaks - praised the show's wardrobe department for keeping her bump under wraps for so long, and said at the time that she and Jason 'can't wait to be parents'.
Well not long to wait now, Rachel - and what could be nicer than a Christmas baby?
