Samia Ghadie - who plays Maria Connor in Coronation Street - missed appearing in Corrie Live because she was on maternity leave.

But she was (understandably) still very excited to tune in and see how her co-stars handled the pressure of performing on live television.

And, as it turned out, her baby son is also a pretty big Corrie fan.

You guessed it - he only tried to turn up during the live episode!

And, on the follow-through, Samia and Sylvain confirmed their VERY unique baby name.

It’s Yves Joseph Longchambon.

The site explained: “They chose the first name as a tribute to the skater's brother and the middle name after Samia's later father.”

The name Yves, pronounced ‘EEV’, means ‘yew’, while the name Joseph means ‘May Jehovah add/give increase’.

N’aww, we love it!

Congratulations once again to Samia and Dancing On Ice’s Sylvain on the birth of their baby boy.
