We may always remember Dani Harmer as Tracy Beaker, the cheeky little girl from the TV show inspired by the popular Jacqueline Wilson books.

But, nowadays, she’s a 27-year-old woman - and she’s 31 weeks pregnant with her first ever baby girl.

Yes, we really are that old. Eep!

Earlier this week, she shared a sweet snap of her blossoming baby bump on Instagram - and it’s clear to see from her face that she can’t WAIT to become a mummy!

She captioned it sweetly: “T-shirt definitely does not fit me and I'm not in the slightest bit bothered.”

N’aww!

Dani revealed she and her boyfriend Simon Bough were expecting a baby back in January.

She told Hello! magazine: “I absolutely can’t wait. I’m also really nervous. But I guess I just have to take each day as it comes. I’ve always wanted to be a mum.

“We’re over the moon. I still wake up every morning and go, ‘I’m pregnant’. It was amazing seeing the scan. I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating. What an amazing, clever thing to be going on inside my body.”

Dani insisted she plans to be a fun mum and will take inspiration from her own mother, who she said was a ‘friend she could tell absolutely anything’.

She added: “I think if you can find the balance between respect and friendship, combining all those things into one, that would be perfect.”

And Simon admitted they’ve got no plans to get married just because they’re having a baby.

He said: “Dani wants the little one to walk up the aisle with us, so we’ll have to wait a few years for that.”

In 2012 Dani took part in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, with her and partner Vincent Simone coming fourth place.

Congratulations to Dani and Simon!
