THE End of the F***ing World actress Jessica Barden has revealed she’s given birth to her first child.
The 29-year-old Brit star kept her pregnancy secret but has now finally shared the happy news she is a mum on Instagram.
She wrote: “If I didn’t reply to you and you felt like I was avoiding you it’s because I was pregnant this whole year
Thank you to everyone I worked with in Australia, I am so grateful I got to work pregnant and I couldn’t of done it without everyone’s care and support.
“I absolutely love being someone’s mum
I will never post my child on here so this is still a meme account.”
Giving an insight into the more bizarre fanmail she receives, Jessica shared a message asking for a picture of her belly button.
She told her followers: “This is why you ain’t seeing my kid.”
Her celeb fans and friends were over the moon for her, with Dani Dyer writing: “Amazing news
congratulations xxxxxx.”
Celeb chef Gizzi Erskine posted: “Oh woweeeee you absolute beautiful creature
.”
Comedian Katherine Ryan said: “Stunning
.”
The 5ft 1in star may be short in stature but she has plenty of courage, often speaking about her mental health on her social media channels.
Back in 2019 she revealed she suffers from “really bad stage fright” in an interview with The Independent.
She said: “I have a fear of people… Some days you just don’t really want the attention of everybody looking at you. And it makes you feel insecure.
“It’s like a panic attack. And I do a job that is unfortunately not the best situation for that. But it doesn’t mean that I have to stop doing it.”
Jessica is best known for playing Alyssa in Brit black comedy The End of the F***ing World.
The teenager embarks on a road trip across England with her psychopath classmate James [Alex Lawther] who is secretly plotting to kill her along the way.
However, they strike up a bond during their travels which involves a grisly murder that the pair work together to cover up.
