A CORONATION Street star has revealed she is pregnant with her second child as she debuts her baby bump in a glam snap.
Rebecca Ryan played Lydia Chambers in the ITV soap and welcomed her first child in May 2023.
Now the actress has taken to social media this weekend to reveal she is pregnant with her second child.
Captioning a snap that showed her cradling her baby bump, Rebecca jokingly wrote: “sleeps overrated anyway… here comes baby no 2.”
She looked glam in a black dress with a white criss cross pattern on it, while her hair was styled in loose waves around her shoulders.
Rebecca, who is also known for playing Debbie Gallagher on long running Channel 4 comedy-drama series Shameless between 2004 – 2009, was congratulated by her friends and followers on her exciting baby news.
Fellow former Corrie star Kimberly Hart-Simpson wrote in the comments: “Ahhh amazing – big congrats” alongside two heart emojis.
Another former star of the ITV soap – Jack James Ryan – added: “can’t wait to meet my new best mate.”
Rebecca is already a mum to a one-year-old daughter Aurora, who she welcomed with her husband Dan Acraman in May 2023.
Sharing the news at the time, Rebecca wrote on social media: “Welcome to the world my beautiful baby girl Aurora.”
