Her Corrie co-star, Jack P Shepherd, revealed the news of Julia's baby break - and hinted their characters David Platt and Shona Ramsey could marry before she goes.

He told Inside Soap: "Julia's off for four months but we may cross over on screen when David gets out of prison.

"I'd like them to have a massive wedding, although I doubt that will happen, as they don't have any money now that David's given his nan the barbers.

"Shona doesn't make much at Roy's. I imagine it will be a registrar down the at the town hall or the bistro."

Julia revealed her pregnancy news on Instagram in May.

She wrote: "Ben and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our first baby at the end of this year!

"We are absolutely overjoyed and can’t wait to meet our little one!"

Julia has played Shona Ramsey in the ITV soap since 2016.

Her husband Ben - who is a teacher - popped the question after three years of dating.
