'Coronation Street' star Julia Haworth has revealed that she is pregnant with her first child.
The actress, who plays Claire Peacock in the soap, is due to give birth in July.
The actress revealed she found out the news in November but wanted to keep it quiet until her 12 week scan.
She told The Mirror newspaper: "We haven't stopped smiling. It's such a special time and I feel so lucky we're going to share it."
Haworth added that her character's postnatal depression following the birth of son Freddie had helped "prepare" her for being a mother.
