Corrie star Alex Bain and his girlfriend Levi Selby have been the victims of cruel internet trolls after revealing their baby news.

Alex, who plays troubled teenager Simon Barlow in the soap, has been targeted by online trolls after he and his girlfriend Levi revealed they were expecting a baby.

16-year-old Levi revealed she’s pregnant after posting a picture of her 12-week scan on social media. Alex has also reportedly been telling friends he’s going to be a dad.

“Alex has been telling everyone he’s going to be a father,” a source told The Sun.

“He isn’t keeping it a secret. It’s hard to tell if he’s happy about it or not but he’s definitely not ashamed of it.”

The source also explained how people have been reacting to how young the couple are, adding: “It’s only happened to one other person at his school in recent years so it is pretty shocking.”

And trolls have been targeting the youngsters online.

Another commented: "Kids having kids lets jyst hooe hes nothing like his character 🤣😂 #alexbain."
