Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon has revealed she’s pregnant.
The Bethany Platt actress took to Instagram to reveal she’s halfway through her pregnancy with her footballer partner, Ryan Ledson. She appeared alongside her son, Sonny Jude, one, who was seen carrying her pregnancy ultrasound scans. In a video shared on the social media platform, Coronation Street star Lucy and Ryan could be seen with Sonny Jude sitting in their living room as they flicked through books before she showcased her blossoming baby bump.
Sonny Jude was later seen sitting by their patio doors as he proudly lifted two of Lucy’s scans above his head while flashing a huge grin towards the camera before Lucy shared a sweet clip of her filming her pregnancy scan to confirm she was expecting her second child.
Her upload which has been liked over 22,000 times was soon flooded with messages of support from her famous pals and fans who couldn’t wait to celebrate. Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh was one of the first to celebrate the news as she penned: “Awwww congratulations beautiful.” Lilly Gerrard gushed: “Congratulations,” alongside two heart emojis.
Helen Flanagan penned: “Love you Lucy xxx.” Emmerdale’s Laura Norton added: “Aw wow. Congratulations gorgeous.” Meanwhile, footballer Josh Seary commented: “Congrats to both of you,” with a red heart emoji. Kean Bryan joked: “Congrats… Get ready for carnage,” with a laughing emoji.

However, some fans were left devastated after realising it would mean Lucy would need to take time off work. “Does this mean Bethany is leaving the cobbles again…?” asked one. A second penned: “Yeah she will be… Again. Pointless coming back wasn’t it?”
Lucy’s announcement comes just months after she revealed she wanted to extend her family, hinting that she and Ryan were ready to have a bigger family. During an episode of ITV’s Drama Queens, Ryan stated that he wanted: “Maybe one more.” While Lucy interrupted adding: “Two more.”

Ryan appeared to be determined as he said: “One for me, really.” But Lucy was determined to get her point across as she fumed: “Two more. I have the uterus!” Their decision to discuss expanding their family came after Lucy reflected on the possibility of her Corrie character falling pregnant.
She said to Ryan: “I read that next week I’m getting run over, and everyone thinks that I’m pregnant. Not me, but Bethany, but she’s not pregnant.” When asked if she thought being pregnant is something that Coronation Street bosses could bring to the show, she quipped: “God no! I’ve got one at home, I don’t need one there! It’s not what I need!”
