Justine Lupe, 35, who plays Bell’s sister Morgan in the series, let fans in on the behind-the-scenes secret: she was expecting during the entire first half of production, revealing how no one on set knew about it until a late-night wardrobe malfunction blew her cover. “I want to clarify that the cast and crew did know I was pregnant as soon as it was safe to share,” Lupe later added on Instagram in October. “As women who have carried a baby know, there is a higher risk of miscarriage in the first few months of pregnancy so it’s emotionally risky to share too early.

” “I only care to make this clear because every single person on this set made sure I was cosy and taken care of,” she added, before going on to praise Bell, Foster and others for supporting her throughout. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Justine Lupe posing with her pregnant belly.
