She seemed relaxed at the event, which celebrated her new series for Paramount Plus.

Jessica loved to pose with co-stars, including Anthony Welsh, 39, and a number of producers, as well as the author of The Flatshare, Beth O’Leary.

Her new project, Flatshare, is a rom-com series being created for the new streaming service Paramount Plus.

Flatshare is based on Beth O’leary’s book The Flatshare – focusing on two cash-strapped twenty-somethings who share a bed in a flat despite never meeting each other.

Jessica plays the character of Tiffy in the six-part series, alongside lead actor Anthony Welsh who plays Leon.

The cast will also be joined by Bart Edwards from The Witcher, who will play Tiffy’s ex-boyfriend, and Shaq B Grant from Gangs Of London, who will play Leon’s brother.

Jessica kept her pregnancy a secret until she revealed her belly at the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival in September.

Earlier this year, on International Women’s Day, she revealed that she had undergone IVF treatment four times in hopes of having her first child.

In the post, Jessica shared an accelerated video of her injecting the hormones into her stomach, increasing the number of eggs produced by the ovaries.

The star shared a passionate caption reminding her followers that “their bodies are not the enemy,” while also revealing that she is on her fourth IVF treatment.

She wrote: ‘Happy International Women’s Day! We do difficult things and then dance x

“IVF has made me even more aware of just how much women are capable of and what we can achieve while going through pain and heartache.

“Your body is not the enemy. Love it. Does not matter what. I send love and support to every woman I’ve ever met and all the ones I don’t, but know what this is.

“I highly recommend doing it all in Vintage Clothing. Love. Love. Love.’

How does IVF work?

In vitro fertilization, also known as IVF, is a medical procedure in which a woman has an already fertilized egg inserted into her uterus to become pregnant.

It is used when couples cannot conceive naturally and a sperm and egg are removed from their bodies and combined in a lab before the embryo is inserted into the woman.

Once the embryo is in the womb, the pregnancy should continue normally.

The procedure can be performed with eggs and sperm from a couple or those from donors.

Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend that IVF on the NHS be offered to women under 43 who have been trying to conceive through regular unprotected sex for two years.

People can also pay for IVF privately, which costs an average of £3,348 for a single cycle, according to figures published in January 2018, and there is no guarantee of success.
