Former Corrie star Lucy Fallon has shared doting pictures of her snuggled up with her baby nephew.
The actress - who is best known for playing troubled teenager Bethany Platt on the cobbles of Weatherfield - was thrilled to share shots of the little one with her fans.
Now 26, the actress has shared on Instagram of her nephew's safe arrival.
Captioning the photos of her sister Laura Fallon's baby, she said: "Ezra Theodore Baugh.
"Can’t believe I officially have 4 nephews! Welcome to the clan lil Ezzie boo my sisters are the best"
One said: "Congratulations, he is precious."
Another said: "Oh how adorable! Congratulations on becoming an auntie for the 4th time"
A fourth said: "Ohhh his little face. He is perfect. And I'm sure you're a fab auntie xx"
But at first glance fans were caught up in the cuteness of the post and one admitted she thought Lucy herself had given birth.
One penned: "Oh wow at first I thought you had a baby lol... My god how beautiful is he."
The actress herself was rumoured to have split from boyfriend Ryan Ledson towards the end of last year after her profile appeared on a dating app.
She told in a Instagram chat with her stylist Ryan Kay: "Love life is not really thriving I'm not going to lie.
"It's quite dead really. But it's fine. Everything happens for a reason and going forward focus on myself even though that's selfish."
But fans of the soap star could see her pop up in more places as she purses a stage career.
In 2017 she won the 2017 show All Star Musicals for her powerful rendition of Don't Cry For Me Argentina from the musical.
Meanwhile Lucy has kept followers up-to-date with her goings-on since her departure from the ITV soap in March 2020.
The actress was cast as the re-introduced character as Sarah Platt's daughter who returned from Milan. Bethany's storylines have included taking diet pills, being groomed by evil Nathan Curtis before falling for grieving widow Daniel Osbourne.
The pair faced huge criticism for coupling up so soon after Sinead's death from cancer but things went from bad to worse as a drunk Daniel proposed.
The single dad got down on one knee on the cobbles and in his drunken state proposed marriage with his late wife's name by mistake.
But in the ultimate come back, she shouted down from her bedroom window: " I'm not Sinead, I'm not your dead wife," she shouted down to him.
"I'm still waiting for an answer," said Daniel, seemingly unaware of the pain he was causing."
Soon after Bethany waved a fond farewell to the street leaving Daniel to 'heal' and to pursue her own career.
Coronation Street is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7.30pm.
