Stand up comic Aisling Bea is expecting her first baby.
The comedian and actress revealed the news in comic pictures taken after her performance at the Big Slick 24.
The 40 year old posted the snaps on Instagram to share the news with her 802k followers.
The snaps showed the star having a picture of a cartoon face being drawn onto her growing bump.
The writer and star of Channel 4’s This Way Up captioned the post: “Dignity Intact. Got pregnant so I could try & put something beside Paul Rudd’s face to make him look older.
“Thanks to the @bigslickkc , Paul, @sethherzog super boy @travisKelce & mostly our angel @sherylcrow for helping me show off my bump in the most dignified & classy way possible. Sheryl said myself & Seth could be her very professional back up dancers with our ridiculous idea, how on brand!
"She really does just wanna have some fun, yawl.”
She continued: And thanks to @jackoby.freeman & @elsie for doing full bump glam & to one of them in particular for getting me pregaroo in the first place. Just to note if you use sharpie pen on your skin, it will be there for about two days. Just if you are weighing up what a commitment to a joke is worth. Gentle dermatitis is the answer.”
She also made reference to a period in 2021 when she shared an image on social media and was mistakenly thought to be pregnant by fans.
She added: “**edit to save myself admin. Yes I am pregnant. This time it’s not a joke about bread.”
Fans rushed to congratulate her.
One wrote: “Congratulations!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused at a post but this is wonderful.”
Another added: “These pics are the most phenoms!!! congratulations! Xoxox”
A third penned: “10/10 pregnancy announcement congratulations.”
Aisling is expecting her first baby later this year with her producer boyfriend Jack Freeman.
