Former Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly, who played Becky McDonald, has revealed not only has she secretly had a second baby but she gave birth three months ago.
The mum-of-two to her two-year-old daughter Orla and her three-month-old daughter Rose admitted that she didn't intentionally keep her second pregnancy a secret: "We didn’t go out of our way to keep it a secret but we didn't announce the pregnancy so people were not immediately on bump watch.
"So it's been wonderful to have this precious time just for us," she told Hello magazine.
Aww.
After one hour and 40 minutes Katherine had a water birth and welcomed Rose into the world on October 21. The 37-year-old actress told Hello! having her two daughters is like "Christmas every day" when they look at her and their dad Ryan Clark in the morning. Katherine and Ryan have been together since 2010 and married in Las Vegas in 2013.
At the moment Katherine stars in BBC 3's Doctor Who spinoff Class and confessed how she manages to work with two children: "I enjoy being a mum as much as I enjoy working, so I'm always trying to get the balance. If you add up the days at the end of the year, I try to make it so I will have had as much time with Orla as I will have spent on set.
"I guess I now just say no to things more often – you could be out every night of the week, really, with premieres and parties and things like that, but I'm knackered."
Coronation Street fans will remember Katherine as the feisty Becky McDonald. She left the cobbles in 2012 to live with her boyfriend Danny Stratton in Barbados.
