Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has melted her fans’ hearts with the ‘sweetest thing they’ve seen’ as she prepares to welcome baby number two. The actress announced that she is pregnant with her second child with boyfriend Ryan Ledson over the summer.

Sharing a video to announce the news on Instagram, the couple were seen playing with their one-year-old son, Sonny Jude, at their home before the clip then switches to Lucy rubbing her blossoming baby bump.

One-year-old Sonny was then seen playing with the sonography images of his new sibling before Lucy also shared a close up of the new baby’s scan image, as well as holding up her positive pregnancy test.

Announcing the surprise news, the soap star, who is famed for playing Bethany Platt in ITV’s Corrie, captioned the video: “Half way there,” confirming where she was already in her pregnancy.

In the clip, the youngster could be seen looking out the window next to the front door as Lucy pulls up in her car. As she gets out and makes her way to the door, Sonny pulses his legs up and down in excitement before his mum smiles widely back at him through the window.
