Chelsea looked radiant in the snap, donning a V-neck, fashionable leopard print dress.

She wore her dark locks down in loose waves and opted for a natural palette, with just a hint of a pink lip.

The comment section was flooded with messages from a whole host of famous faces including Robson Green, congratulating the pair on their news.

But it seems like the news hasn’t slowed the West End star down.

Just three months ago she finished starring in the UK tour of Waitress which she described as her dream job and before that appeared in the production of 9 to 5.

In more recent weeks she has been keeping her followers up to date with the couples house renovations sharing pictures of piles of broken wood, wallpaper strippings and James tackling to work on the fireplace.

Chelsea and James both worked on the ITV soap at the same time, but never appeared in any scenes together.

Chelsea played the role of Amy Wyatt, whilst James played Jake Doland.
