Corrie spoiler: Kym Marsh secures ‘huge storyline’ as barmaid Michelle Connor discovers she’s pregnant
KYM Marsh is to become a mum again - on Coronation Street.
The 40-year-old's character, Michelle Connor, will be at the heart of another huge storyline that will delight fans.
Insiders revealed that she has already filmed scenes of the moment she discovers she's expecting with on-screen husband Steve McDonald.
Steve, played by Simon Gregson, has had a long battle with depression and it is unclear how he will react to the shocking - but happy - news.
Over the next few weeks, fans will see Michelle getting broody as she hangs out with pregnant pal Leanne Tilsley.
She begins to plead with Steve to give her a child, and conceives quickly.
A source told : "As always it's not going to be all plane sailing.
"It's another huge storyline for Kym."
The new development is sure to come as a relief for the star.
Yesterday we revealed that the Cobbles were set to be rocked by a huge explosion, and a host of characters killed off.
It's all part of a shake-up by new boss Kate Oakley, who has been brought over from Emmerdale to sort out the ailing soap.
Les Dennis, who plays reformed burglar Michael Rodwell, has also confirmed he is to quit the show.
