Coronation Street actress Jane Danson was reportedly rushed to hospital yesterday to give birth to her second child.

The 30-year-old - who plays bookie and former prostitute Leanne Battersby - was expected to give birth next month, making her the fourth cast member within a fortnight to welcome a new arrival to the family.

Her baby, however, is due to arrive slightly prematurely.

A source told The Sun: "Jane is in hospital and we are awaiting some exciting news any time now."

Earlier this month, Alison King (Carla Gordon) gave birth to her daughter Daisy Mae.

Meanwhile, Jack P Shepherd's (David Platt) partner Lauren Shippey also delivered a daughter, who has been named Nyla Rae.

Wanda Opalinska (Vicki Dankowska) gave birth to a healthy baby boy called Rafal within the same week.

Danson and her co-star husband Robert Beck (Jimmy Dockerson) already have a two-year-old son called Harry Alexander Jack, who was born in July 2006.

The only remaining expectant parent at Corrie is Graeme Hawley (John Stape), whose wife is due to give birth in June.

Coronation Street actress Jane Danson has given birth to her second baby boy, DS can confirm.

The 30-year-old - who plays Weatherfield's Leanne Battersby - gave birth in the early hours of this morning to Alfie Sam Robert, who weighed in at 7lbs 5oz.

Contrary to earlier reports claiming that she was 'rushed into hospital', Danson yesterday attended a pre-planned visit to the hospital during which her pregnancy was induced.

A spokesperson for the soap told DS: "Jane wasn't rushed to hospital. Instead, she attended an appointment to induce her pregnancy which had been arranged for a couple of weeks."

Danson and her co-star husband Robert Beck (Jimmy Dockerson) already have a two-year-old son called Harry Alexander Jack, who was born in July 2006.

Alison King (Carla Gordon), Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) and Wanda Opalinska (Vicki Dankowska) have also become parents within the past two weeks.

Congratulations to them :cheer:
