Jodie Whittaker announced her pregnancy at last night’s BRIT Awards.
The Doctor Who star, who has played the Time Lord since 2017, is expecting her second child with her actor husband Christian Contreras.
The 39-year-old debuted her baby bump on the red carpet at the 2022 BRITs, wearing a custom cream and orange gown by stylist Helen Sykes and creative director Carli Pearson behind the British brand Cimone.
Helen said: “It was important for Jodie to work with a female-led British brand for this event. I think there is a clear correlation between Jodie’s assertiveness and the inherent strength of Carli’s designs.”
The creative duo revealed they sought to integrate Jodie’s baby bump into their design, without emphasising or hiding it.
Carli explained: “We chose orange because it is a powerful and divisive colour, you either love it or hate it, it’s flamboyant, determined, and designed to make a splash, it’s not a colour for a wallflower.”
Congratulations Doctor on the new little Timelord! 🥳 #DoctorWho #JodieWhittaker pic.twitter.com/c2ieQMzdkG

“We wanted to capture Jodie’s effervescent energy in the piece, to harness her sense of fun while also honouring her headstrong nature,” she added.
“Jodie Whittaker is an ideal muse for our brand, and we’re excited to see her bring the piece to life at the Brit Awards.”
Jodie and her husband Christian got married in 2008, and welcomed their first child together in 2015 – a daughter.
