Former Home and Away cast member Melissa George was thrown "the best" baby shower over the weekend.

The actor, 47 - best known for playing Angel Parrish on the soap opera in her native Australia - was joined by a host of pals at the special occasion in Paris recently. Melissa, who is understood to live in France, shared photos on Instagram.

The entrepreneur shared content from the event on Sunday and thanked event planner Caroline Touboul in one caption. Melissa wrote alongside a photo of herself recently: "My darling [Caroline] thank you for the best baby shower."

Some photos showcased cookies in various shapes that had been covered with blue icing. A personalised one read: "Melissa's baby boy." Fans were also given glimpses of the cake, which featured a bunny seemingly made of icing.

A musician had also been hired for the event. The singer and guitarist was seen performing at the special occasion in clips shared on the platform. It included a rendition of the Backstreet Boys' chart-topper I Want It That Way as well as Miley Cyrus' Grammy Award winning song Flowers.

Decorations at the event included various blue balloons and some shaped like hearts which had "mom to be" written on the front. Another resembled a whale and another a bear. Melissa was seen opening gifts and expressed gratitude for the support she had received in posts on Instagram. One attendee described it as the "most magical afternoon".

It is unclear if Melissa's in a relationship and she already has two children with her ex-partner Jean David Blanc, 55. The former couple, who are understood to have separated in 2016, are parents to Raphaël, 10, and Solal, eight.

Melissa made her acting debut on Home and Away, with her a cast member on the soap opera from 1993 until her departure in 1996. Her character Angel notably had a relationship with the late Shane Parrish (played by Dieter Brummer), with whom she had two kids. Angel left Summer Bay with her kids following Shane's death.
