Congratulations are in order for Coronation Street star Mikey North who has revealed he is expecting his first child with his wife, Rachel.

The 30-year-old actor, known for playing Corrie's Gary Windass, married his wife in front of 100 guests in January this year.

Speaking about the big day, Mikey told OK! magazine in February: "Rachael looked amazing. I'm known for letting my emotions run with me, so I was really concentrating on trying not to cry."

How cute!

And now the happy couple have revealed in an interview with OK! magazine that they're expecting a baby boy in November.

Rachael explained that after trying a few pregnancy tests and having the result negative, she thought she wasn't pregnant.

However, Mikey revealed: "Rachael did another test.

"I was watching sports on the telly. She came down from the bathroom, and showed me the result.

"It said pregnant. I just said: 'f-ck, f-ck, f-ck' in quick succession. But in a good way!"

"I was amazed. It's such a big miracle to happen in the first place. You find out and realise that your life is going to change forever."

How adorable!

The pair who admitted they "weren't expecting it to happen as soon as it did," are hoping the baby won't take after Mikey who sleep walks. Speaking about his recent experience, he revealed: "I woke up in the street wrapped in a duvet. I'd managed to turn off the burglar alarm before I got out of the house, too."

Rachael joked: "Let's hope this one doesn't take after his dad!"

Aww we can't wait to meet their buddle of joy!
