EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy is heavily pregnant with her second child. Her character Sonia Fowler isn’t.
But viewers were left questioning if there’d been a sudden plot change when she appeared in Tuesday night’s episode.

Many were left bemused that soap bosses had given up on trying to hide it.
Could Sonia be shoved any further in that corner? We know she's pregnant #EastEnders

It would appear that #EastEnders are not even trying to hide Sonia & Linda 's large baby bumps @tayhils #NOBIGHANDBAGS

They haven't done a good job of Hiding Natalie Cassidy's pregnancy on #EastEnders. It won't be a surprise this time, Love!

To clarify, 33-year-old Natalie is pregnant, Sonia is not.
Natalie is due later this summer; it’s her first with cameraman beau Marc Humphreys, after she gave birth to a daughter Eliza with ex-fiance Adam Cottrell.
