One of the biggest stars of children\u2019s TV show, The Teletubbies, Jess Smith, who played the sun baby, has announced that she is expecting her first child.<\/p>\n

Jess, who is now in her twenties, has shared an adorable picture of her ultrasound scan to confirm the news on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Alongside the snap, she simply said: \u201cWhen two becomes three\u201d before tagging her partner Ricky Latham.<\/p>\n

Many of her followers were quick to pick up on the news, as they shared their happiness at the announcement.<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cCongratulations!!! You're gonna have your own sun baby!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While another added: \u201cThe Teletubbies sun baby is having her own sun baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else penned: \u201cCongratulations Jess. Wonderful news.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fourth follower wrote: \u201cAnother sun baby congrats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jess played the sun baby on the iconic show from 1997 until 2001, waking up Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po in Teletubbyland.<\/p>\n

With her being so young when she starred on the show, she has previously admitted that she doesn\u2019t remember a thing from the filming.<\/p>\n

She told theDaily Star: \u201cUnfortunately, I don't remember anything from the original filming. I've been told I was placed in front of a mirror and was laughing at myself.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jess added: \u201cI was put in a high chair, and my dad was playing with toy cars on the ground to make me look down. I think we were there for about half a day taking different shots and angles!\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2015, Jess took to Facebook to confirm that she is the sun baby in the show as she said: \u201cI used to hide it, but after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I've gained the confidence to come out with it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the sun from Teletubbies.<\/p>\n

"There has been quite a few people pretending to be 'the sun' but only I could tell you the real story.<\/p>\n

"Everyone says they can see the likeness between my face now and me as a baby. I still have a baby face. I haven\u2019t changed much either. I am still giggly."<\/p>\n

In 2017, she revealed more about how she landed the role when she appeared on Lorraine.<\/p>\n

Jess explained: \u201cI was being weighed at the hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"My mum took me, and it just happened to be the same time that the producer of the old series had come in and wanted the hospital to get in contact with them if they'd seen any smiley babies.<\/p>\n

"It was just a case of sitting in front of a mirror and a camera and my dad playing with toys and race cars and that sort of thing to try and get me to laugh at the camera."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
