The former Teletubbies sun baby recently shared exciting news on Instagram. Jessica Smith announced that she is expecting her first child, posting an ultrasound image with the caption “When two becomes three.”
Congratulations poured in from commenters, with one person saying, “The Teletubbies sun baby is having her own sun baby.”
Smith is known for her role as the sun baby in the famous British children’s television series, the Teletubbies. The show featured four different-colored characters with televisions on their bellies.
As the sun baby, Smith portrayed a cooing and laughing infant superimposed on a sun graphic. She would summon the Teletubbies at the beginning and end of each episode.
In 2014, Smith revealed her identity as the sun baby to Entertainment Tonight. She shared her story of how she was chosen for the role, saying, “When I was about 9 months old, my mom took me for a routine checkup at the local hospital. The midwife there had been contacted by a local production company who were looking for a smiley baby, and the midwife asked if my name, along with all the baby’s [sic] that way, could be submitted. From then I had to go through auditions and shortlists until they finally picked one person, ME!”
