EastEnders’ Kellie Bright offers fans rare glimpse inside her house with new pic of baby Rudy
EASTENDERS' Kellie Bright has shared a cute new photo of her baby Rudy - and given fans a sneak peek behind her closed doors at the same time.
The actress, who plays Linda Carter in the BBC1 soap, gave birth to her "miracle" son with her husband Paul Stoker last month.
Kellie has now treated fans to a peak of their gorgeous baby as he played on the living room floor, on a squashy mat and under a new baby gym.
Posting a snap on Instagram, she wrote: "Rudy loves his @tinyloveglobl playmat!" Confirming it was gifted, she then thanked 'brand and influencer partnership', Mum and Me App.
The sweet photo has also given fans another rare glimpse at Kellie's family home, with wooden floors and neutral wood furniture.
'MIRACLE BABY'
Kellie has been an EastEnders star since 2013, when she joined Albert Square as Linda, landlady of the Queen Vic.
She is currently taking maternity leave after conceiving her "miracle" third child through IVF.
Kellie sufffered criticism after falling pregnant at the age of 44 - and hit back saying "nobody would bat an eyelid" if she was a man.
The star, who is already mum to sons Freddy, nine, and Gene, four, went through a "rollercoaster ride" during her IVF journey that was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
But some felt she was "too old" to be growing her family.
"First of all, if I was a man having my third child at 44, no one would bat an eyelid," she told .
"Don't forget my husband is much younger than me.
"He's in his thirties, so he's still running around after the kids, which is great. We met when I was 31 and I didn't want to jump straight into having kids."
We had fertilitty struggles we didn't expect and had to just deal with it."

She explained that she would've "finished having babies at the end of her thirties" if there was a chance to map out her perfect life.
"But who gets to pick their life like that?" she concluded. "We had fertilitty struggles we didn't expect and had to just deal with it."

The couple required IVF treatment after struggling to get pregnant with their second child.
Kellie said she was 39 when they tried the treatment for the first time, managing to get "four, good strong embryos", one of which became her son Gene.
Kellie and Paul then used the following three embryos trying for their third baby, with their "miracle" third chance being successful after the first two embryos didn't work.
