Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo has been thrown a baby shower by co-star Katherine Heigl. Mum-to-be Pompeo, who is expecting her baby in October, was also joined by other members of the show's cast, including Kate Walsh and Sandra Oh as well as castmate Eric Dane's wife Rebecca Gayheart.

The bash was held at Heigl's in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. The catered, outdoor baby shower was held in the backyard and umbrellas shielded guests from the heat as temperatures in Los Angeles reached a scorching 105 degrees. Pink flower arrangements and candles adorned the tables to celebrate Pompeo expecting a baby girl, while guests brought gifts wrapped in girly pink and yellow colours. Many of the gifts - which included a Sleep Sheep toy mobile, Sleepy Safari stacking toys, organic hooded towels and a Kiddopotamus organic swaddle wrap - came from the Juvenile Shop in nearby Sherman Oaks, where Pompeo is registered. A guest at the shower said: "Ellen looked gorgeous in a white summer dress with her hair in a braided up-do. "She seemed very excited to celebrate with her girlfriends."
