Coronation Street star announces she's pregnant with 'miracle' baby

Coronation Street star Stephanie Davis is pregnant with her second baby.

The actress has happily announced that she's 16 weeks pregnant, but admitted it hasn't been plain sailing to get to this stage.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, she confirmed her exciting family news, but after suffering a miscarriage in 2022, told the publication the doctors believed it was happening again.

Doctors were concerned she could either be having a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, but Steph had a "strong gut feeling that it was all going to be okay".

At 16 weeks, she and her partner Joe McKalroy were thrilled to announce their exciting news, with her son from a previous partner also excited to be a big brother.

She told the publication they had been trying to get pregnant for two years and were about to start IVF when Steph fell pregnant naturally.

However, the journey was rocky when results for her HCG (the pregnancy hormone) were deemed too low. But mere days later, they had a call from the medical team to tell her the results had tripled, the publication said.

Steph said the pair then went for a scan and were able to see their baby on screen.

They later did a. gender reveal, confirming that Steph would be welcoming another little boy to her family.

The happy news was shared on Instagram as the pair were inundated with messages of congratulations.

Steph, previously building her career in Hollyoaks, moved to Corrie last year as Courtney Vance and embarked on an affair storyline with Aadi Alahan.

She was brought onto the cobbles on a short term basis and soon left the soap after the affair came to an end.
