Why Fans Think Kate Phillips Was Pregnant in Miss Scarlet Season 5

There’s been some speculation among viewers about whether Kate Phillips, who plays Miss Scarlet, was pregnant during Season 5, or if her character was instead the one portrayed as being pregnant. The latest season of Miss Scarlet and the Duke (now simply called Miss Scarlet) has recently been released, with the departure of Stuart Martin’s character, William “Duke” Wellington, at the end of Series 4.

Here is your answer.

Was Miss Scarlet or Kate Phillips pregnant in Season 5?

In Season 5, Miss Scarlet was not carrying a baby, nor was she pregnant when the series began. On the other hand, it’s worth noting that Kate Phillips welcomed her second child during this period.

Phillips’ pregnancy was first made public knowledge in July 2024, as a result of photographs published online by The Daily Mail. These images captured her walking around London.

The pictures emerged approximately two months following the conclusion of filming for Miss Scarlet Season 5 in April. Phillips, who is rather secretive about her personal affairs, such as her relationship with actor Oliver Chris from Rivals, has seldom shared insights into this aspect of her life, doing so just once on social media by showcasing her three-year-old daughter’s artistic skills. The exact timing of when she became pregnant remains unclear.

Instead, photographs from Instinct PR revealed that Phillips’ second child was born in December 2024, depicting Phillips and Chris attending a Moana-themed event with their baby and daughter. Consequently, it seems plausible that Phillips was pregnant during some part of Series 5’s production. It’s also speculated that the crew skillfully concealed the pregnancy using creative costume solutions.

In addition to the mentioned social media post, there’s just one occasion where Kate Phillips discloses details about her private life, and that’s in an interview with The Times. Here, she revealed some personal aspects, particularly about the birth of her first child, a daughter. She described this experience as “extraordinary agony.

Fans can catch new episodes of Miss Scarlet Season 5 on PBS every Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
