The musical theater star revealed last month that she is expecting her second child with husband Danny Mac, 36, while sharing a snap of the shadow of her baby bump.
She added the hashtags: ‘#springnewlife #ourbaby #bigsister #pregnantat41 #inourlittlebubble’.
Carley and Danny began dating in 2011 and married six years later. They welcomed their first daughter, Skye, in 2021.
The duo are former Hollyoaks actors, with Danny playing Mark Savage in the soap until 2015 and Carley playing Steph Cunningham until 2011.
Last year, Carly revealed how her attitude towards her racy Hollyoaks spreads had changed since becoming a mother.
She confessed to The Sun: ‘Now that I’m a mum, I don’t know how to take off any kit.
“I just think your attitude changes when you’re older and certainly when you’re a mother. What matters most to me is body confidence and women feeling great.’
However, looking back on that moment with fond memories, he said: ‘For a woman in her 20s, feeling safe was liberating. I have those photos to remember and enjoy.
Combing her blonde locks into a ponytail, Carley looked in good spirits as she posed in her luxurious kitchen.
In response to the comments, a fan asked the TV star if there are ‘more risks to being pregnant at 41’.
Carley responded, “They watch you more closely with more checks which I enjoyed because I got to hear the baby more.”

“It was always something I did knowing that hopefully one day I would be a grandmother and say, ‘Oh, look at me back then.'”
The mother of one previously sincerely spoke about how she was struggling with “mommy guilt” while away from her young daughter.
Carley signed up for Dancing On Ice in 2023, but was worried about appearing on the skating show because it would mean more time away from Skye.
However, even though she found it difficult, Carley revealed that she was able to “figure it out” with the support of Danny, her family and friends.
Detailing how she dealt with her absence, Carley said: “I feel really bad when I’m not with her. Mommy guilt is real: it’s part of my DNA now.
‘I remember my first day back at work, when Skye got a rash. I got off the subway and I could have gone left to go to work or right to go home, and I had to call my mom and say, “Please tell me what to do.” It was horrible.
“But I knew Skye was with my mother-in-law, who is a nurse, so she couldn’t have been in better hands.”
Carley rose to fame for her role as Steph Cunningham in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks at just 17 years old.
She left show business to pursue musical theater and appeared on stage as Princess Fiona in Shrek: The Musical, Fantine in Les Miserables, and Elle Wood in Legally Blonde: The Musical.
In April 2021 she returned to the soap world and joined the cast of Doctors as Harriet Shelton before leaving in September 2021.
Danny joined the cast of Hollyoaks in 2011, where he played the role of Mark ‘Dodger’ Savage.
After four years on the Channel 4 soap opera, Danny was nominated for the National Television Awards for Best New Actor, Most Popular New Actor and Best Dramatic Performance in a Series. He was also voted Soap’s Sexiest Man three times at the Inside Soap Awards and twice as Sexiest Man at the British Soap Awards.
She left the soap in 2015 and the following year reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing with her professional partner Oti Mabuse.
Carley and Danny Mac began dating in 2011 and married six years later. They welcomed their first daughter, Skye, in 2021 (pictured in 2017).
