The pair have reportedly yet to decide on a name for their son.
O'Brien also has a 5-year-old daughter named Scarlett Jacqueline Thomas, whom she had with Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas.
Earlier this year, the actress - who has also had roles in Doctors and Waterloo Road - said that she'd love to return to Coronation Street.
O'Brien left the soap in 2007 after playing Sarah-Louise Platt since 1999. She was famously at the centre of a teen pregnancy storyline, and was last seen flying to Milan with her daughter Bethany after admitting to planting drugs on her brother David.
Latest news from Clacton...Every year for the last few years the "big" pantomime in Clacton has starred a former Corrie or EE star. While they're in town they are usually asked to ceremonially turn on the town's Christmas lights, which they are always happy to do as a) It gives them a chance to meet their fans and b) It's good publicity both for them and the pantomime.
This year the star is Charlie Condou. He has absolutely refused to turn the lights on, citing the fact that it is not written in to his contract that he should do this!
..............
How quickly some of these "stars" turn their backs on the very audiences that helped to create their careers . Appropriate he's in Jack and the Beanstalk, maybe help him understand he can come down faster than he can climb up. Hope another member of the cast switches the lights on , gets maximum publicity and praise. Really show him up.
Ah well, Glen, the good thing is that my theatre, the West Cliff, has stepped in, and the stars from our Christmas Variety Show will be switching the lights on. West Cliff 1 Princes 0 .:D:cheer::thumbsup:
Excellent , hope they get max publicity.....:)
Hardly an actor in demand. He should have jumped at the opportunity. Not very Christmas spirit of him.
I'd heard he was a nice guy too! You never can tell...Quote:
