Coronation Street’s Julia Goulding is taking just four months maternity leave but Shona could marry David before she goes, says Jack P Shepherd
CORONATION Street star Julia Goulding is taking just four months maternity leave.
The newly married actress, 34, is expecting a baby with her husband Ben Silver after they tied the knot in February.
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.
But the pair decided to keep their happy news private for ten months.
Luckily, everything went according to plan and in February they got married at Manchester’s Albert Hall.
Ben told : ";As soon as I saw Julia, I just knew it was the best day of my life."
