Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon shares baby gender news

Lucy shared the news via an Instagram video on Sunday (September 1). After announcing her pregnancy a month ago, Lucy did not know whether she was having a girl or a boy.

In a new video, Lucy and Ryan could be seen bent over a phone hiding their faces and reading something. They both looked up in shock and appeared to be surprised by the result.

Lucy then covered her face with her hands before wiping away tears from under her eyes.

The couple then revealed the gender by holding up a baby sleep suit that read “little sister” on the front.

Lucy tagged Ryan into the video post and paired the song Songbird by Oasis over the footage.

Lucy, who joined Coronation Street in 2015, added a white heart emoji to the caption and penned the message: “Complete.”

The star also reposted the video onto her Instagram Story to show her fans and added a pink bow emoji, showing the excitement of a new baby girl on the way shortly.
