'Home and Away' actress announces pregnancy!

Former Home and Away star Esther Anderson and her husband Howard Moggs have just announced they're expecting their first child!

The 38-year-old, who is best known for playing policewoman Charlie Buckton on the Aussie soap from 2008 to 2012, is due to give birth in July.

Taking to Instagram to share the news, the Los Angeles-based actress showed off her baby bump in a gorgeous beachside snap with her husband.

“There just aren’t the words to describe how happy we are right now,” she wrote alongside the photo.

“We are so excited to welcome Baby Moggs into our lives. So in love with this beautiful little soul already.”

Her husband, advertising executive Howard, also took to Instagram to announce the news, saying: "We are so excited to become parents!"

Talking to New Idea magazine, the couple revealed they're not going to find out their baby's gender, as they "want to have a surprise".

The pair were married at the Terindah Estate winery on the Bellarine in February last year.

Congratulations Esther and Howard!
