The event had a gold and white theme and Sair showed off her blossoming bump in a skin-tight sequinned dress that matched the decor.

She wore her long raven locks in loose curls and accessorised with dramatic pearl earrings.

In one sweet photo, Sair was joined by her partner Nathan Chilton as they cut a beautiful cake with a little bear made of icing on the top.

"We can bearly wait to meet you," Sair wrote in the caption.

This could be a potential clue that she could be considering the name Bear for her little one - like Cheryl and Liam Payne's son.

As well as the incredible cake, there were also bears on the table for decoration.

In other photos she posed with friends, family and fellow cast members - calling them the 'dream team'.

Tisha Merry, who played Steph Britton, also shared snaps from the day.

"The most beautiful day celebrating @sairkhan baby shower," she wrote with a white heart emoji.

"I honestly can’t wait to watch you both become parents

"Love you and promise to be there for the baby sitting duties," she added.

They played baby shower bingo, enjoyed drinks together and tucked into afternoon tea.

Sair, who has played Alya Nazir in the ITV soap since 2014, revealed her pregnancy news in December last year.

She showed off her growing baby bump in the black and white photo and told fans it was a "real mix of emotions", with the happy news coming amid her partner Nathan Chilton's health struggles.

The soap star, who also appeared on I'm A Celebrity in 2018, penned a touching message.

She shared: "Hello… It’s been a little while since posting on here which has been a real mix of emotions.

"With all that is happening in the world it didn’t feel like the right time to share but we also know it’s okay to keep hope and pray for peace whilst acknowledging that we feel blessed and grateful.

"Last year was a challenging time for us both with Nathan’s chondroblastoma surgery on his pelvis.

"It’s been a long road to recovery and still has many obstacles ahead as we deal with the spread of the tumour to his lungs.

"Life can be difficult and there’ll always be challenges to face but there are also important lessons to be learnt and gifts to be cherished.

"We’re so excited for the arrival of Baby Chilton in Spring 2024."

Sair was congratulated by her fans and her Corrie co-stars.

Former Corrie star Kimberly Hart Simpson posted: "Oh myyyyyyyy I am so happy for you. Amazing. Love to you both."

Kym Marsh commented: "Oh this is beautiful news. Sending you both lots of love."

Ex-Corrie actor Jack James Ryan gushed: "Beautiful news. Huge congratulations to you both."

Sair found love again in 2021 two years after her heartbreaking split, when she started dating chiropractor Nathan.
