Eliza's pregnancy came just a few months after she tied the knot with Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher. Although there was no official announcement, Eliza has shared a handful of photos with fans showing her growing baby bump. "Trying my hardest to work the pregnancy pose and @kelvin-fletcher just kills the picture. #soontobe3ofus," she wrote alongside one showing the couple posing tummy-to-tummy.
Just two weeks ago, she shared a snapshot of husband and wife at the Chester Races, joking that they were "treating the bump to some vip action".
