Sair captioned the snaps: “Hello… It’s been a little while since posting on here which has been a real mix of emotions. With all that is happening in the world it didn’t feel like the right time to share but we also know it’s okay to keep hope and pray for peace whilst acknowledging that we feel blessed and grateful.
“Last year was a challenging time for us both with Nathan’s chondroblastoma surgery on his pelvis. It’s been a long road to recovery and still has many obstacles ahead as we deal with the spread of the tumour to his lungs.”
She continued: “Life can be difficult and there’ll always be challenges to face but there are also important lessons to be learnt and gifts to be cherished.
“We’re so excited for the arrival of Baby Chilton in Spring 2024.”

Nathan said he was “beyond proud” of Sair.
Alya Nazir in Coronation Street
It was a difficult start to the year for Alya in 2023 who found herself the target of two racist attacks.
First of all Alya found there was a bomb in the Speed Daal van. Alya heroically jumped in the vehicle and drove it far away. She got to the canal just as the bomb exploded. Although she survived, she was pretty shaken up.
Then just weeks later at the end of January, Alya dived in front of Maria Connor who was about to stabbed by extremist, Blake. She was rushed to hospital for live-saving surgery after suffering a punctured lung.
She then supported ex Ryan Connor through his acid attack trauma. However, she was forced to take a step back when he revealed he still loved her and she didn’t feel the same.
It looks like 2024 will be full of drama too as Alya is sure to have an exit when Sair goes on maternity leave.
