Menik, who plays high school Principal Priya Kapoor on the Australian soap, tweeted a very cute snap of herself late last night, after an Australian newspaper first reported that she was expecting. 

Gooteratne posted a photo of her bump, saying: "A little side project I've been working on. Very excited and more than a wee bit scared about this new role!"

The London-born soap star, who serves as a 'Welcome to Australia' ambassador has been married to her partner since late 2011.
