The British actress is back on our screens starring in new edge-of-your-seat thriller Our House, alongside Line of Duty's Martin Compston and Rupert Penry-Jones. Based on the novel by Louise Candlish, Our House tells the story of Fi Lawson (Middleton), who arrives home one day to discover her house has been sold and a new couple is moving in. She insists a mistake has been made as she scrambles to find out where her estranged husband Bram (Compston) is. Tuppence is also featuring in the Downton Abbey movie sequel.
If Tuppence looks familiar, it's because the 35-year-old actress has been on our screens for some time now, appearing in the BBC's adaptation of War & Peace, and more recently in The Current War with Benedict Cumberbatch and the Downton Abbey movie. Here's everything you need to know about the actress...
First things first, are Kate Middleton and Tuppence Middleton related?
Despite sharing a surname, Tuppence is no relation to the future Queen. 'Since Kate Middleton came around, some people think I'm related to her, but unfortunately, there's no connection,' Tuppence has said.
Is Tuppence Middleton Pregnant?
Yes! Last night Tuppence attended the Downtown Abbey sequel premiere, Downton Abbey: A New Era, absolutely glowing. She stepped onto the red carpet cradling her baby bump. The actress keeps her personal life out of the spotlight and it is not known who the father is.
Where does her unusual name come from?
'Tuppence was what my grandmother nicknamed my mother, so she gave it to me,' the actress revealed in a previous interview. She’s not the only member of her family with a strange moniker, though. 'My sister is called Angel, and my brother was going to be called Bubba or Sonny, until they let me and my sister name him Josh.' Lucky escape, Josh!

While it may have started out as an adorable nickname for her mum, it's now a bona fide real name in the Middleton family and 'Tuppence' is exactly what it says on her bank statements.
Who is Angel Middleton?
While Tuppence keeps her Instagram pretty glossy and profesh ('edgy' and 'moody' also spring to mind), she does give some snippets into her personal life, including these sweet photos which she's tagged her sister Angel in. She's also got a niece and a nephew, though it's unclear whether they belong to sister Angel or brother Josh.
