ITV Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon shares adorable name and Scouse reason behind it

Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon has shared her baby's adorable name.

The soap star is renowned for her role as Bethany Platt in the long-running show. Lucy quit the Cobbles in 2020 and regularly keeps fans updated with her exciting life away from the screen.

The 27-year-old is in a happy relationship with Preston North End's Ryan Ledson - and the two thrilled fans when they revealed they had welcomed a baby boy earlier this month. Lucy has now revealed the baby's name is Sonny Jude in an exclusive interview with OK!

The soap star has said the couple considered a lot of names, including some quirky options: "I kept adding names to a list. I liked a lot of names that Ryan didn’t. Some were a bit out there, like ‘Fox’.”

Her footballer partner hails from Liverpool and he joked that, as a Scouser, there was no way his son would end up with an "out there" name. He said: “He’d get ribbed non-stop!”

However, Ledson revealed the two started calling their new bundle of joy Sonny as the pregnancy progressed and they fell in love with the name.

Lucy thrilled fans when she announced her pregnancy in September. She confirmed the baby had been born and shared the first snap on Instagram earlier this month.
