Casualty actress Naomi Chaya Wakszlak has announced the birth of her first child. The 27-year-old, who plays paramedic Indie Jankowski on the BBC medical drama, shared two photos on Instagram showing herself with the newborn, though the baby's face was not revealed.
In her caption, Wakszlak wrote: '05-04-26. Everything is different and maybe it's better actually and I can't wait to tell you everything kid so LISTEN UP!!' The post prompted an outpouring of congratulations from her co-stars, including Sarah Seggari, who commented: 'The happiest news ever ever ever I'm sooo proud of youuuuuu.'
Fellow cast members Kirsty Mitchell and Milo Clarke also sent their best wishes, with Mitchell writing: 'Congratulations angel face. Loads and loads of love and hugs to you all x.' Fans joined in, with one saying: 'Huge congratulations to you both! How you're well my love. What beautiful news.'
Wakszlak joined Casualty in December 2024. Her character Indie, a third-year paramedic student, fully qualified in 2025 and has been involved in a romance with nurse Cam Mickelthwaite, played by Barney Walsh. Walsh, son of Bradley Walsh, reacted to Wakszlak's news with two red heart emojis.
Casualty, the longest-running primetime medical drama in the world, returns to its usual Saturday slot on 11 April after being off air for several weeks due to sporting events. The show is also set to move to a new fictional hospital in Wales later this year.
